Kerry Wood has been retired for all of two weeks now and he’s already keeping himself busy promoting a children’s book he co-wrote with MLB.com Cubs beat reporter Carrie Muskat.
Here’s a photo of Muskat holding the book, entitled “All You Can Be: Learning and Growing Through Sports”:
Wood describes the book as “a positive story about ups and downs and how you can come through that and still be a success” and proceeds go to the Kerry Wood Foundation for Chicago-area children.

So does it explain how to deal with failure without throwing things into the stands? Naaaa It couldn’t, that would be entirely too ironic.

I wonder how it compares with the Papelbons’ book “Pitching with the Papelbons”.

I got one of these as a free handout when I went to a Lowell Spinners game a few years ago.
I guess children’s books featuring ballplayers are a solid business model?
