Alyssa Milano Loves Leather and Cork and Joe Torre will Tell You So

Bob Mantz asked, "What has Joe Torre been up to since his book was wiped off the back any page of the papers by Selena Roberts?" Apparently writing the foreward for Alyssa Milano's book, "Safe at Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic," due out 3/24/09. Wonder if Joe at least read his foreward.

"Alyssa Milano is in love; she has been for some time. But the object of her affection isn't the subject of tabloid gossip or an actor; in fact, it isn't even a guy. It's a game, a game of nine innings that uses a ball made of leather and cork.



From arguing about the importance of baseball history to appreciating the quiet months of the off-season to criticizing Major League Baseball's response to the steroid scandal, Alyssa intertwines her thoughts about the game with stories from her life, bringing an intelligent, wry, and entertaining female voice to the world of baseball writing.

Throughout all the shifts in Alyssa's life—the madness of growing up a child star, having to navigate life's most awkward phases in front of the cameras—baseball has been her one constant, a distraction that was always welcome. Whether you're already a fan or you need some convincing, Safe at Home makes a compelling case for why baseball is and always will be America's game. The end result is a unique and unexpected book that is equal parts memoir, manifesto, and love letter to our national pastime."
