	Dutch Leonard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dutch Leonard was the name of two different pitchers in Major League Baseball:
		Hubert Benjamin "Dutch" Leonard (1892-1952), a left-handed pitcher who played between 1913 and 1925.
		Emil John "Dutch" Leonard (1909-1983), a right-handed pitcher who played between 1933 and 1953.

	Dutch Leonard \| BaseballLibrary.com
		Emil "Dutch" Leonard was one of the first pitchers to rely heavily on the knuckleball.
		Leonard was sold to the Phillies after the 1946 season and was traded with Monk Dubiel to the Cubs for Eddie Waitkus and Hank Borowy two years later.
		Leonard, the veteran knuckleballer, led the National League in losses this past season with 18.

		Dutch Leonard also had a remarkable season, posting the lowest single season ERA of the 20th century.
		This Dutch Leonard is famous for his 0.96 ERA, and infamous for being the biggest, um, snitch in baseball history.
		Leonard also pitched for ten more years, and had some good seasons, though he was never again dominant.

	Elmore Leonard never gets caught short financially
		Leonard returned to Detroit in 1949 after serving as a Seabee in the South Pacific during World War II and soon found work writing ad copy for the Chevrolet account.
		When interest in Westerns waned, Leonard spent the next two decades creating his own genre, combining a dead-perfect ear for dialogue with a new, humorous take on Detroit's assorted lowlifes to create decidedly non-mysterious mysteries that defied, then defined, the new, hip crime novel.
		I needed a nickname and just for some reason out of the blue, the guy sitting next to me said, 'Let's call you Dutch Leonard,' because there was this knuckle-baller still pitching with the Washington Senators, he was in his 40s, and that was the name I got.

		Elmore (Dutch) Leonard confirms with this, his 29th novel, his right to a prominent place in the American noir writers' hall of fame, along with Charles Willeford, Dan J. Marlowe, Jim Thompson, the Elliott Chaze of "Black Wings Has My Angel" and John D. MacDonald.
		The other Dutch Leonard, Emil, who was a pretty fair right-handed pitcher with the Brooklyn Dodgers, Washington Senators, Philadelphia Phillies and Chicago Cubs, and from whom Elmore appropriated his nickname, won 20 games in a season only once.
		This Dutch has accomplished the feat in his own ball park a solid baker's dozen times or more, which is a monster of a career, better than Emil's.

	Elmore Leonard
		Elmore Leonard is the author of trailblazing Westerns and hard-boiled crime novels, the kind of fiction that keeps readers turning pages late in the night, eager to see what happens next.
		In 1951, Leonard was ready to quit the ad business and concentrate on writing full-time, but his agent talked him out of it.
		Quentin Tarantino was arrested for shoplifting a copy of Leonard's novel The Switch from a K-Mart in 1979, and years later filmed one Leonard novel (Rum Punch, re-titled Jackie Brown) and has optioned four more.

		The Dutch Forum is really ten forums which cover a range of topics about Elmore and his work and include a dedicated category for Comfort to the Enemy, Elmore’s serial novel for The New York Times Sunday Magazine which will also be available on their website which will be linked to our site.
		This ferociously cool fable proves once again that Leonard is incapable of writing a boring line of dialogue and you begin to think that maybe his very notes to the milkman should be preserved in a library somewhere.
		Leonard’s seamless narrative weaves their stories together in his distinctive style, and if you wonder why so many superlatives have been used to describe his books, you only have to read this one to find out.

		Dutch Treat: Hard-boiled novelist Elmore 'Butch' Leonard took his nickname from a fabled knuckle-ball pitcher for the long-gone Washington Senators.
		But Leonard, more of a pragmatist than I, says that the real problem was that the market for Westerns had dried up.
		Leonard follows the spirit of that Dashiell Hammett line "The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter." He's taken the observation to heart; Leonard writes popular fiction, but his work isn't cheap.

		Where Leonard had accused the others (and himself) of fixing the game in question, he had no evidence outside of his word, that there had been a plan to pre-arrange the results of the game.
		Leonard's accusation was based on his hope that people would assume that where there is smoke, there is fire.
		Wood told this to Leonard, and they both felt it would be an opportunity to cash in, due to Cleveland not being prepared to contest the battle at full strength the next day.

		At least the MGM marketers waited for Dutch Leonard to write a Get Shorty sequel before they green-lit a filmed one—but the wait may have cost them.
		He mixes up with the leggy widow (Uma Thurman), an idiot wigger producer (Vince Vaughn), his gay and relatively harmless bodyguard (The Rock), a zillionaire rap producer with a hard-charging posse of handgun-flourishing thugs (Cedric the Entertainer), and eventually, Steven Tyler as the lead singer of a deathless rock band named Aerosmith.
		The story is pretzely in a way that Leonard probably enjoys working out as he naps; suffice it to say that it's run amok with double betrayals and tropes lifted straight from

		There's some interesting information about Leonard's work habits and a broad overview of his life, but these elements are overwhelmed by some truly terrible writing.
		The author has a very annoying habit of injecting himself into the narrative, frequently writing "I asked Leonard if..." or "I asked (so-and-so) if," and giving totally extraneous and uninteresting details about how he got and conducted the interviews with Leonard and his friends and associates.
		Unfortunately, the writing did not match the long and prolific life of Dutch Leonard.

		Although Elmore (Dutch) Leonard's crime fiction was often called “hard-boiled,” it bore little resemblance to most other detective novels.
		Leonard rarely used the same character in more than one book, and his protagonists were frequently “good guys” only in the sense that they were somewhat more ethical than their enemies.
