Lardner, Ring 1885-1933 creator text utu 2016 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "You Know Me Al: A Busher's Letters" by Ring Lardner is a collection of stories published in 1916. Written as letters from Jack Keefe, a talented but headstrong pitcher for the Chicago White Sox, to his friend Al back in Indiana, the book captures a boastful, naive ballplayer's adventures in the big leagues circa 1913. Through his barely literate correspondence, Jack reveals his struggles with contract negotiations, romantic entanglements, marriage troubles, and life among real baseball legends—all while remaining hilariously oblivious to how others manipulate him.
