The provisional rotation has been announced for the upcoming Project COBB book titled Nine Aces and a Joker: Defining seasons from British baseball’s standout pitchers<\/em>. The “Nine Aces” are, provisionally, as follows (with their defining season in parentheses):<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. John Reidenbach (1890)<\/li>\n
  2. Max Wilson (1937)<\/li>\n
  3. Ross Kendrick (1938)<\/li>\n
  4. Wally O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Neil (1965)<\/li>\n
  5. Alan Asquith (1968)<\/li>\n
  6. Cody Cain (1993)<\/li>\n
  7. Gavin Marshall (2002)<\/li>\n
  8. Brian Essery (2008)<\/li>\n
  9. Jason Roberts (2010)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Other stellar pitching efforts will be bundled up in a “short stories” chapter.\u00c2\u00a0In addition, the tales of all the aces will be counter-balanced with a special chapter on one of the ultimate wild-card pitchers from British baseball history.<\/p>\n

    The invited authors include several who have already had their British baseball writing published in book format. They will be joined by two very talented rookies from the BaseballGB<\/em> farm system.<\/p>\n

    The plan is to publish the project as an eBook later this year, but a limited-edition print-run will also be undertaken. To help the publisher gauge the optimum number to print in that limited-edition run, you can express an interest in a hard-copy version via the Project COBB contact page<\/a>.<\/strong> The hard-copy version will have a soft cover with strengthening flaps and will probably be priced at something like \u00c2\u00a315.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
