Summary: Ray Fitzgerald's Gentle Needle and Gentle Soul
Comment: I am a Ray Fitzgerald fan.I've been one since 1967.His untimely death in 1982 left bereft his many fans and readers who were used to drinking their morning coffee and chuckling at his columns in the sports section of the Boston Globe."Touching All Bases" is a posthumous collection of Ray's best columns selected by his sons Kevin and Michael.It is chocked full of humorous takes on the local and national sports scene,but also features some poigant pieces of fallen athletes like Roberto Clemente,Tony Conigliaro,Muhhamed Ali,and in one column listing several gifted but self destructive former players who lost their careers, ends with the sad alcohol related death of a brilliant sports writer in 1977, whose talent was the envy of his peers.These columns,in chronological order from 1970-1982,are a joy.100 examples why this wry,gentle writer was so admired are on display in this book,but there could have been another 50 to 100 columns put in, the more the merrier I say.Especially when it concerns Ray Fitzgerald!
