You Know Me Al is a collection of letters written by a fictional baseball player named Jack Keefe to his friend Al back home. The letters chronicle Keefe's experiences as a rookie player in the early 1900s, including his struggles with the game, his relationships with teammates and managers, and his personal life. Keefe's letters are filled with humor, slang, and colloquialisms of the time, providing a glimpse into the language and culture of early 20th century America. The book is a classic example of American humor and a reflection of the national pastime's enduring popularity.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.
