Mark Stryker Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Maybe I missed them above, so apologies if they've been mentioned, but Tom Boswell's first two baseball book are Hall-of-Fame worthy: How Life Imitates the World Series (1982); Why Time Begins on Opening Day (1984) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Garrett Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 I have a fair number of baseball books, but if I had to pick a desert island selection, I'd be hard pressed to top the four volumes in the Fireside Book of Baseball series: Fireside Books of Baseball and Other Sports and Games Others that come to mind: Lawrence Ritter's The Glory of Their Times, Okrent and Lewine's The Ultimate Baseball Book, Norman Macht's massive three-volume biography of Connie Mack, and Charles Leerhsen's recent bio of Ty Cobb, a long-overdue corrective to the conventional wisdom propagated over many years by Al Stump that Cobb was a miserable human being.

Brad Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 The Fireside baseball books are outstanding. Einstein (Charles, that is) is overlooked today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
