Currently reading “The Southpaw” the first in a series of four books by Mark Harris about the life and career of fictional pitcher Henry Wiggen published in 1953. Still have a long way to go with it but it had good reviews and seems to really capture the essence of the game or at least as much as one could in a book. It’s definitely a fun read! You feel like you are part of the team going through the grind of the season. The best parts are probably the off the field bits although the game recaps are just vivid as if your sitting there in the dugout. I like it so far.
