While we're celebrating the official start of spring training, let's also celebrate art -- specifically, the art of Carl Skanberg that's on the cover of my upcoming book, White Sox Outsider 2012. What better way to say goodbye to the "All In" campaign and hello to a 1970s throwback season than with than with a book that brings both together?

I'm finishing up the editing and formatting of the book this weekend, followed by printing a test copy. If all goes well, I should have the book ready for sale a month from Opening Day.
