Presented as semi-literate letters written to a friend by a baseball player embarking on a professional career, Lardner's short stories first appeared in the \u003ci\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/i\u003e in 1914. Readers couldn't get enough of \"busher\" Jack Keefe, the unpolished, exasperating, charismatic narrator. Since being published in book form in 1916, \u003ci\u003eYou Know Me Al\u003c\/i\u003e has retained its place on the list of essential readings in baseball literature. In a 2002 ranking of the one hundred greatest sports books ever, the editors of \u003ci\u003eSports Illustrated\u003c\/i\u003e placed Lardner's masterpiece at number five.","brand":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126430417136,"sku":"9781411467606","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781411467606_p0.jpg?v=1769897839","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781411467606","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
