Judge Mark Painter is continuing his campaign to get lawyers to write in plain English. The Legal Writer is Judge Painter’s new book, which tells lawyers that they are allowed to write plainly. Since 1998, Judge Painter has given 22 legal writing seminars across Ohio, instructing lawyers and judges on how to make their words understandable—not only to other lawyers, but to the public. "Cases are about people. Shouldn’t they be able to read what is happening to them?" Judge Painter asks in his seminars. In The Legal Writer, he expands on that theme, and offers 30 rules for lawyers to follow in changing their writing style. For example, Rule 16 states "What is the most underused punctuation mark in legal writing? The period—it is that key down at the lower right of your keyboard. Even though you are a lawyer, you are allowed to use it." The book tells lawyers and judges to write shorter sentences, shorter paragraphs, purge legal jargon, and write in plain language.

Professional ballplayers, including me, have a gift from God. John Malangone, a former top prospect for the New York Yankees, is a man with remarkable talent, an impressive work ethic, and a deeply rooted fear of success. 
He easily impressed Yankee scouts with his performance and trained obsessively, but was disinterested in winning the game. 
A riveting biography, Malangone's story offers an unvarnished look into the Yankee organization and a young athlete's struggle with memories of a childhood tragedy. Readers will become immersed in the rich and often tumultuous culture of 1940s and 1950s Little Italy in East Harlem and get an in-depth look at a man who was finally able to rise above his struggles and make the most of his life and abilities. John s trials and triumphs involve stories with baseball legends such as Joe DiMaggio, Yogi Berra, Casey The Old Perfessor Stengel, Mickey Mantle, Earl Weaver, and Billy Martin. 
This book is a detailed companion to the award-winning documentary about Malangone, Long Road Home, by acclaimed filmmaker Bruce Spiegel. John s life was also captured in a feature article for Sports Illustrated, and has been covered by the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune, and New Jersey Star-Ledger.

The first professional baseball team—Cincinnati's famous Red Stockings—played its first game on May 4, 1869. Cincinnati's 150-Year Opening Day History: The Hoopla Started with a Parade captures the history of Cincinnati's unique celebration of Opening Day. Cincinnati bears the distinction of being the only city in professional sports with the honor of hosting Opening Day every year! The days leading up to and including Opening Day have become such a celebrated holiday in the Queen City that author Fred Schwed once described Opening Day as a “notch below Christmas” for Cincinnati Reds fans. Cincinnati's 150-Year Opening Day History: The Hoopla Started with a Parade also highlights local, national, and world events that occurred on or around Opening Day and sometimes impacted the festivities. Featured events include everything from world wars to floods, assassinations, local and national scandals, and interesting historical achievements. The book is crammed with rarely seen, stunning photos from 1869 forward. Every Cincinnati Reds fans should have a copy on his or her bookshelf to enjoy throughout the year! In the January 2019 edition of Reds Report, best-selling baseball author Mike Shannon had this to say about the book : "[Randy] Freking's love for [Opening Day] and his dedication to it comes through on every page. The best summary of the book I could relay is by Freking himself, who said, ‘My goal has been to summarize the evolution of Opening Day traditions in the context of events that were happening in Cincinnati, the nation, and the world. It was delightful to find that Opening Day has been surprisingly impervious to the kind of cultural transformation that has affected so many of our societal institutions. Cincinnatians have worked hard to protect the unique and treasured spectacle represented by Opening Day.'" This edition available on Amazon has a color cover, but the price is discounted because the photos inside are black and white. The original version contains four, eight page sections of color photos and is available at openingdaybook.com.
