SANFORD — Sanford baseball writer and Journal Tribune columnist Carl Johnson is set to release his newest work, “The Baseball Buff’s Bathroom Book, Volume III.”

“The Baseball Buff’s Bathroom Book, Volume III,” contains a series of 50 essays about major events and players in baseball, both historical and contemporary. The essays are from 1,500 – 2,500 words in length, designed to be read in short periods of down time, hence the title “The Bathroom Books.”  

The essays are historically accurate representations of people and events produced by Johnson as he is a life long student of the game and has lectured about its history and produced five other books including”From Beer to Beards,” which chronicled the Boston Red Sox journey from worst to first in 2011-2013 and “Big Papi and the Kids,” which followed the Red Sox championship season in 2016.  

Read about the only player who got two hits, in two different cities, for two different teams, against two different teams, on the same day and the player who hit 1.000 for his career.

Follow the careers of Dizzy and Daffy, the Dean Brothers, Vinegar Bend Mizell, Leo Durocher and the evolution of the Brooklyn Dodgers from coast to coast.

Relive the Impossible Dream Year of 1967 and the tragic but sensational careers of Herb Score and Thurman Munson. From Bobby Doerr, to Greg Maddux, to Adrian Beltre, to the 1962 National League Tie Breaker, this book has some of the most exciting plays and events in baseball, both historic and contemporary.
