Baseball and dogs are a curious mix. And a lively one. Both will be discussed Friday (tomorrow) at 7 p.m. at the Red Fox Bookstore in Glens Falls, N.Y. (518 793-5352) when my daughter Emma (accompanied by Pearl, the world champion writing dog) will talk about her new book “90 per cent of the game is half mental,” her funny, much praised memoir about her life as a baseball writer,  and I will preview my new novel, “Rose In A Storm” out in October. We will also talk about the craft and business of writing.

Red Sox and Met fans are threatening to appear to squawk about Emma’s team, the Yankees. She can handle it. Proud papa will watch and listen.
