New Baseball Books

by Chad Dotson on February 3rd, 2008 in Baseball - General, Reviews

Library Journal has this good review of the baseball books set to be released in 2008. It’s worth a read if, like me, you are prone to filling your shelves with baseball books that you may never read.

While I’m on the subject, I’m currently reading “Opening Day,” Jonathan Eig’s account of Jackie Robinson’s first season with the Brooklyn Dodgers. I’m almost two-thirds of the way through it, and it’s been excellent thus far.

Before that, I just finished “Ted Williams,” by Leigh Montville. Very, very good book about a man whose ideas on hitting and plate discipline were years before their time.

    Thanks for the link. Montville’s biography of Babe Ruth, THE BIG BAM… is great, I highly recommend it.

    “Opening Day” was a really good read … I’m reading “Red Legs and Black Sox” and it’s AWESOME … Jonathan Eig’s bio on Lou Gehrig is great. It’s called “Luckiest Man” … also like the book “The Old Ball Game” by Frank DeFord
