Three years ago, I co-wrote a book about the Texas-born baseball players who had made it to the major leagues. "Lone Stars of the Diamond" didn't sell very well, but it was a fun project to put together.
Since leaving the newspaper business, I haven't had much of a chance to write about baseball, and I miss it. So the other day, I came up with an idea: Find as many of the players listed in the book as possible, have them sign it, then post a story about them here. It's not exactly the Sunday Express-News, but it could be interesting. Just to give it a title, we'll call it the Lone Stars Project.
The first story is in the works, and there's a list of possibilities scribbled on a tablet in my overloaded backpack. So stay tuned, here or at Facebook, for updates. Probably not every day, but on a regular basis.
