Larry Colton: Author and still a "Battered Bastard" / Coffeeshop Conversations @ Catfish Lou's #197

By TOM D'ANTONI // After a Pulitzer nomination and lots of books written, he's still known as one of the "Battered Bastards of Baseball" -- a Portland Maverick (and a Portland maverick).

Welcome back to Catfish Lou’s at 2460 NW 24^th for another OMN Coffeeshop Conversation.

As you may have noticed we talk to more than music industry people. Like today, for instance.

I re-watched the documentary, “The Battered Bastards of Baseball” the other night. Larry Colton popped up in it. He was a member of the Portland Mavericks. I thought, “Oh yeah, he would make a great guest.”

Larry is also a Pulitzer Prize nominated author for his book “Counting Coup.” He’s written a lot of great books and is working on more. I did a TV story on him in the past and we had a lot of fun.

That’s why he’s here.

He also founded Wordstock and a lot of other things.

We could have gone on a lot longer but he’s always welcome back.

Meet Larry Colton.
