I’m honoured that MAKESHIFT FIELDS was recognized by @thetwinbill as one of their nonfiction baseball books of 2025. Check out their excellent magazine and podcast. As always, thanks to my publisher, @invisibooks .
I’m very happy to see McKinstry going to the All Star Game. 11th in WAR in the AL, while playing 7 different positions for the Tigers. For me, he embodies the team-first approach and the grit that makes this Tigers team special.
Many thanks to all the people who spoke with me when I was researching the book two years ago, who answered my many questions as I was writing, and who came to events over the past several weeks. If you feel so inclined, please drop a review on Goodreads and always feel free to reach out to me. Thanks again for everything—it’s been quite a journey chasing baseball across these makeshift fields.
Let’s go to @the_back_page in Phibsborough for Dale Jacob’s signing of “Makeshift Fields - Chasing Baseball in Ireland, Scotland, England and Wales”.
Dale will read from his book which covers his 7 week travels in Ireland and the UK.
Thank you to Dale’s publisher @invisibooks for donating a share of proceeds from any sales to Baseball Ireland.
