Laguna's Scribe of Summer
|
Authoring more than two-dozen books, including “A Day in the Bleachers,” Laguna resident Arnold Hano isn’t done writing or commenting on baseball.
By Jean Hastings Ardell
Fan to fan, ask Arnold Hano what brings us back to baseball and he quotes a line from the novel “Prospect” by Bill Littlefield: “ ‘It is a sustaining game.’ Those five words—that’s what holds us,” he says. “We’ve been in thrall to baseball, in my case, since I was 4—that’s only a matter of 82 years,” he laughs.
