Must Have Books?

Posted By: John H.

The softcover version of the Speaker book comes out tomorrow and I pre-ordered right after I posted about it. I'm looking forward to learning more about the Grey Eagle.

Henry Thomas' book on Walter Johnson is terrific. I hope to read it again some day but there's so many books and so little time.

Edit: My favorite baseball book is David Halberstam's "The Summer of '49". I find it to be a totally engrossing read, one that transports me back to an era before I was born. Another favorite is Robert Creamer's Baseball in 1941. Anything by Bill James is highly entertaining, whether you like him or not. His Historical Abstracts, Guide to Managers and Hall of Fame book are all tremendous.
