You Know Me Al is a collection of short stories written by Ring Lardner and first published in 1916. The stories are written in the form of letters from a fictional baseball player named Jack Keefe to his friend Al. Through Keefe's letters, the reader gains insight into the life of a professional baseball player in the early 1900s, including the pressures of fame, the challenges of playing on the road, and the relationships between teammates. Keefe's letters are full of humor and wit, but also reveal his flaws and insecurities. The stories provide a glimpse into the culture of baseball during this time period and the challenges faced by those who played the game. Overall, You Know Me Al is a humorous and insightful look at the world of baseball and the people who played it over a century ago.I suppose you and the rest of the boys in Bedford will be surprised to learn that I am out here, because I remember telling you when I was sold to San Francisco by the White Sox that not under no circumstances would I report here. I was pretty mad when Comiskey give me my release, because I didn't think I had been given a fair show by Callahan. I don't think so yet Al and I never will but Bill Sullivan the old White Sox catcher talked to me and told me not to pull no boner by refuseing to go where they sent me. He says You're only hurting yourself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
