{"product_id":"9780786134076","title":"You Know Me Al","description":"\u003cp\u003eJack Keefe is a talented, brash, and conceited young bush-league pitcher. Impervious to both advice and sarcasm, Keefe rises to the heights, but his inability to learn from his mistakes might just be his undoing. Told through a series of letters written from Keefe to his friend, Al, this baseball classic maintains a balance between the funny and the moving, the pathetic and the glorious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNostalgic in its view of pre–World War I America—a time before the \"live\" ball, a time filled with names like Ty Cobb, Charles Comiskey, Walter Johnson, and Eddie Cicotte—this is not a simple period piece. It is about competition, about the ability to reason and, most of all, it is about being human. First published in 1914, \u003ci\u003eYou Know Me Al\u003c\/i\u003e tells us as much about ourselves today as it did over ninety years ago.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Audio, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094095675632,"sku":"9780786134076","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780786134076_p0.jpg?v=1763665382","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780786134076","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
