About the Toaster
Baseball Toaster runs on some experimental software called Fairpole. It's still under development.
For more information, please visit the Fairpole blog, or read the FAQ.
Although Asinof wrote many books and a novel of his titled Final Judgment is due out this fall, his most famous book was the 1963 history of the 1919 Chicago White Sox and their conspiracy to throw the World Series. The book was made into a film by John Sayles in 1988. Asinof had a small role in that film as NL President John Heydler.
Sad news. I recently asked Ray Robinson, a dear friend of Asinof's for Asinof's number as I was interested in speaking with him, interviewing him. And Ray, out of respect for his friend, declined, saying that he was in bad shape and wouldn't want to embarass him.
I just got Asinof's baseball novel, "Man on Spikes" in the mail last week.
You are correct. That film did not have the restricted running time that Eight Men Out did.
It's a bit leisurely.
