Default Reading Challenged

When Ernie Harwell said:

"_________ is the only guy I know who's written more books than he has read."

to whom was he referring?

It's probably true about Mickey, but that's not whom Ernie was referring to.

Not Denny either.

Harwell said this after the subject's THIRD autobiography was published.

Nice work, Craig and BB. Sparky is the man. Harwell said it in 1998, after Anderson's third autobiography, "They Call Me Sparky" came out.

How many copies could he have sold? Who cares - especially for the third time?
