Fiction is "The Celebrant"...wonderful book.
Non-Fiction: "Teammates" by Halberstamm is a great look at Williams, D. Dimaggio, Pesky, and Doerr. Honorary mention: The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading, and Bubble Gum Book. Joshua |

Non-fiction: "The Glory of Their Times" by Lawrence Ritter (hands down IMHO) followed by "Branch Rickey" by Lee Lowenfish.
Just finished "Baseball's Natural, The Story of Eddie Waitkus" by John Theodore this morning. Great background for "The Natural" by Bernard Malamud. Fiction: "Angels at Rickwood" by Chuck Stewart (Shameless plug: I know the author; but it really is a great book to share with your kids)

The bad thing about starting this thread...
...is that I am picking up tips on more books I should own.
At my age, I am supposed to be decreasing my library. |
