		<description><![CDATA[NBA center Jason Collins today became the first active male athlete in American sports to come out. Here&#8217;s hoping fans and teammates are ready. Because there are more on the way. &#160; If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I&#8217;m raising my hand. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t wait to see this upcoming movie about Jackie Robinson and the integration of baseball. You&#8217;ll recognize Harrison Ford as Branch Rickey, a braver man than Indiana Jones, for Rickey decided&#8211;against the wishes of his fellow baseball executives&#8211;that racial segregation must end. Who will be the Jackie Robinson for gay ballplayers? Maybe he&#8217;s already [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am delighted (and dazzled) by Stephen Karl&#8217;s take on Fontana in the new issue of The Adirondack Review.  While baseball stories have been told for more than a century, Fontana is an original&#8230; Martino dazzles with his use of language, of scene-setting and description in his debut novel.

		<description><![CDATA[My just-published article for Outsports imagines the impact of a real-life Ricky Fontana. I describe how my novel—or an actual gay ballplayer—could expose the weakness of some bad ideas just as a clever pitcher cuts down his opponent. Stupidity strikes out. This article arrives on the cusp of trying times for baseball. In a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently noticed an Amazon review for Fontana posted by Stephen King. I know this review is not from the Stephen King whose books I&#8217;ve read and enjoyed (especially the Dark Tower series). The reviewer is likely a reader who liked Fontana and wanted to post his (or her) thoughts on Amazon, so he chose the name of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve wondered often during the past few months if I underestimated major league ballplayers&#8211;maybe they wouldn&#8217;t slur and curse a gay comrade. Maybe the real-life Ricky Fontana would have it easier than the character in my novel. Today, I doubt myself a little less.]]></description>
