I think it's going to be a hard sell if he has to approach a publisher in another city and tell them he's got the bio of a guy named Froggy, the legendary assistant groundskeeper for the Phillies. I'm sure Froggy's legend doesn't extend too far beyond Bucks County. If Froggy is so chummy with Richie Allen, can't Richie put in a good word for him with his publisher? Richie's published a biography. I know, because I own it. I guess he’s pretty limited to Philadelphia area publishers, of which there are few.

He continues to be optimistic that one is out there for him. Meanwhile, we continue to plug away on the manuscript. We have three chapters in various stages of completion. Cappello has seen the first one, plus our outline. Frog signed with Cappello but he hasn’t lined up a deal yet. He continues to be optimistic that one is out there for him.

They'll want to see everything you are going to cover. If Froggy has some insider dirt on the Phils (drug use, carousing, steroids, that sort of thing), they are really going to want to know about that.

As eloquent as he may be, that may be a better way of extracting the story from him than by trying to interpret his notes. Have you thought of interviewing Froggy?
