World Series

I was wondering about when the World Series would be played in 2024, a search found this:

Then I thought:  The Boys of November ?  I guess I haven't been following baseball much lately :()

This of course brought to mind the phrase:  World Serious

Mentioned in this book by Ring Lardner:

And thinking of Ring Lardner made me remember this book:

That's the first place I encountered the name: Ring Lardner when Holden Caulfied mentions him.

Somewhere I've got my Dad's Signet paperback of  The Catcher in the Rye - it's probably all kinda yellowing/crumbly now - maybe there's an audio book ?  :)

I also remember reading somewhere that J.D. Salinger was really against having his work on film.  Specifically it had to do with the creator of a forgotten TV show called:  It's a Man's World:

The show was the one Glen Corbett was in before Route 66 (which we always watched in our house).  Here is the first episode of It's a Man's World:

Anyway It's a Man's World is mentioned in this article:

Apparently Peter Tewksbury worked with Salinger on a movie but they went back and forth on the script, Tewksbury made changes based on his experience in film and Salinger would patiently undo all the changes - apparently Salinger was a "my way or the highway" kind of guy.

All this from looking up when the World Series will begin :)
