A chat with Ron Blomberg, author of “The Captain and Me”

“Imagine that you’re sitting at your favorite bar — or, more appropriately, in a booth at your local delicatessen — with Ron as he shares recollections of his and Thurman’s playing days, their adventures, and their friendship…”

- Dan Epstein, co-author, “The Captain and Me”

That quote from the introduction is a great encapsulation of “The Captain and Me,” the new book co-written by Ron Blomberg and Dan Epstein. I’ve read many books co-written by a former player and a writer that unfortunately aren’t that way. Many a writer has taken the opportunity to write a book in their voice, using their words with anecdotes from the player’s experience.
