Spitball: The Literary Baseball Magazine is pleased to announce that the 2022 CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year has been won by Kostya Kennedy and St. Martin’s Press for True: The Four Seasons of Jackie Robinson. Kennedy thus not only becomes the first three-time winner of the CASEY, but he is also a perfect three-for-three; in that every baseball book he has written has won a CASEY Award. True received one first-place vote, one second-place vote, and a third-place vote for a total low score of six points. Red Barber: The Life and Legacy of a Broadcasting Legend (University of Nebraska Press) by Judith R. Hiltner & James R. Walker finished second with ten points. Red Barber received one of the other first-place votes, as did The Church of Baseball: The Making of Bull Durham: Home Runs, Bad Calls, Crazy Fights, Big Swings, and a Hit by Ron Shelton (Knopf).”
