You Know Me Al: A Busher’s Letters is a collection of fictional letters written by a baseball player named Jack Keefe, who is trying to make it big in the Major Leagues. Written by Ring W. Lardner, a well-known American journalist and humorist, the book is a satirical look at the life of a professional athlete in the early 20th century. Through Keefe’s letters, readers are given a glimpse into the world of baseball, from the grueling training camps to the cutthroat competition between players.
