Sports Blunders are Revealed in DOPEY BASTID
By: Christina Mancuso Jul. 17, 2013
In the heat of baseball season, Lou Saulino reminds sports fans of America's favorite pastime and the dumbest moments in sports history.
In his new book, Dopey Bastid, this New York author provides an entertaining and reminiscent read for sports lovers. Following its prequel 8: Center Field in New York, 1951-1957, the story of three best friends continues 20 years later when one becomes a noted New York sportswriter and decides to compose a sports novel. Enlisting the help of his friends, the three amigos begin to recollect some of the dumbest decisions made by sports players, managers, owners and sportswriters.
"Though these sports stories are historical in nature, they are uniquely told through the eyes of three close friends," says Saulino. "Dopey Bastid's prequel, 8, was based off my own childhood, so these stories will evoke reminiscent memories for those who grew up with neighborhood friends."
With true accounts of sports blunders varying from baseball, football, basketball and boxing, Dopey Bastid will have readers scratching their heads, laughing out loud and perhaps even shedding a tear while reflecting on the meaning of friendship.
