| 2008-01-10 13:00:00 | Hi Joe! Schools back in session (boo!) but spring training is next month (yay!) Any good reccomendations for baseball books to help pass the time? Thanks ;) (Stephanie from Lawerance, KS) | The classic answers, for me, are _Ball Four_ and _Lords of the Realm_. Both are a little dated, but remain excellent reads.
I got the Johnny Pesky book about the '07 Red Sox as a gift for someone. I think it's a tragedy, but not everyone will agree. _The Baseball Economist_ was the last baseball book that really grabbed me. (Joe Sheehan) |
