What are you reading? What is "worth it?"
Can we get a sticky of players and books about them... I have seen several posts about What book is the best on.... I think if we can just post the subject, book and author and then have someone clean it up once in a while so we have a running list of books that this forum members recommend. ...
Upcoming bios to look out for: Tris Speaker by Opie Otterstad Does anyone wish to give us a detailed book review of recent baseball books? I'd appreciate good-quality reviews/reports on the following baseball books. Pete Alexander by John C. Skipper
Crappy film but in Righteous Kill Ted Williams, the infield fly rule & the NY Mets get a mention. Any other non-sports specific flicks which mention baseball?
Baseball books only, if you're not reading one, don't post. For me: Pitching in a Pinch by Christy Mathewson with John Wheeler.
I just wanted to see how big your home baseball library is. My Personal Library: Someone once suggested that I have an extensive library of baseball books. That is hardly the case. But I wish I had! My "baseball library" consists of only 6 book shelves. Plus a few vanilla files, and a 3...

The latest installment of the 'Baseball' documentary will air on PBS Sept. 28th and 29th 8-10 p.m. ET. http://www.pbs.org/baseball-the-tenth-inning/about/
Just got the book 300 Club and skimmed through the chapter before sitting down and reading it. It has chapter profiles of all the 300 win club members so I'd figure it would be an interesting read. I get to the Clemens chapter, and there is zero mention of PEDs in the entire section. Come to...

Did a search and found no other threads on this so if it is a duplication, my apologies. Ben Sakoguchi is a commercial artist, born in 1938 in San Bernadino, CA and as a young boy spent time in an internment camp in Arizona. One of his early artistic influences were the bold, fanciful images on...
I did some searching and could not find a previous topic about this... In your opinion, what are some of the most realistic baseball movies ever made. Don't just list movies focused on the major leagues. Add little league, minor league or what ever to the list.
I want to learn about the early years of baseball particularly its development during the civil war. No doubt numerous books have been written on this subject but the two I keep coming across are: From Pastime to Passion: Baseball & the Civil War – Patricia Millen Baseball in Blue & Gray –...
I've read "The Natural" I don't know how many times but just last night, I realized something.... The setting seems to be in the late 1930's.... But it features a game at Wrigley....with lights.....:think:
Has anyone seen the independent film, "Sugar," which has just been released in theater? If you haven't heard about it, it's basically the Cinderella story of a Dominican youth making it to the big leagues. Former major league star, Jose Rijo, also has a role in it. It sounds interesting, but I'd...
When I was a kid the book that probably had the biggest impact on me as a fan was "Bums" by Peter Golenbock. The 1941 Brooklyn Dodgers were colorful characters who were a big part of the fascinating, vanished Brooklyn of that time. They drank, caroused, hung out with Hemingway in pre-Castro...
My parents took a trip to Washington recently and picked me up a book called Smithsonian Baseball. I haven't actually read any of it yet, but it's probably worth picking up just for the pictures, especially if you like the older stuff. It's got action shots, but lots of baseball cards, jerseys,...
Houdini Pie by Paul Michel is a wild and rollicking story, based on historical fact, about a group of hapless treasure hunters in Los Angeles during the Great Depression who dig a deep hole downtown--with the city's permission, no less--in search of an ancient, mythical Hopi treasure supposedly...
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100719/ap_en_mo/us_obit_gammon One of the great Hollywood baseball managers. RIP.
do u ever have the experience with this Barnes & Noble nook eBook Reader? it is said to very good to use and could Store as many as 1,500 eBooks. sounds very attractive. it might save a lot in the long run. but i am not sure it is really that good. plz give me some suggestions.
Good book, I'm about a quarter of the way through. I disagree with some of the author's assumptions about race relations in America - but it's still a fair read. He also said Milwaukee has an inferiority complex! Way to bait me.... :rant::rant::rant:
I ran a search for this book and didn't find anybody talking about it. Has anyone else read it? I'm just finishing it up and I thought it was pretty good. It's about the 1986 Mets. That was the first team I ever really pulled for, so it's a subject I hold dear. Got my copy from Amazon for...
Has anyone read this yet? I'm just about done with it and I want to know what you guys think of it.
It seems like several years since Total Baseball published a new edition. The same goes or the old MacMillian encylopedia and the Neft & Cohen one. Internet lookups are easy, but its still nothing like having all that information in one place like an encylclopedia in book form gives you. Are any...
I'm a lifelong baseball fan and fiction reader. I would like to combine these two hobbies to find good baseball fiction. I'm particularly interested in the dead ball era, but anything will do to get me started. Does anybody have any recommendations for fiction books with baseball themed stories. ...
will be available? The first volume was so good I can't wait for the 1915-1956 encore.
Anyone read this book yet? Recommend it?
