Great Leads & a New Find:
Thanks to all for helping me (not) curb my addition to Baseball Books. I picked up 'The Celebrant', 'The Universal Baseball Association', and Henry Thomas's bio of his grandfather, Walter Johnson. I look forward to loosing myself in the pages of each.
I also came across and purchased what looks like a great read, 'Baseball in the Garden of Eden' 'The Secret History of the Early Game' - by John Thorn I may have to miss a few Braves' games to get all this read. Maybe it's not too late for me to learn how to multi-task...oh well, we will see...

The Soul of Baseball is a great book. Very different from the rest of the great baseball books.

I'm surprised "Miracle Ball" hasn't been mentioned. Great and easy read. Very fascinating journey about the search for Bobby Thompson's shot heard round the world baseball. Would highly recommend.

A lot of good books. I'm currently reading, "The Summer of Beer and Whiskey: How Brewers, Barkeeps, Rowdies, Immigrants, and a Wild Pennant Fight Made Baseball America's Game" by Edward Achorn,
It's been a pretty good read, following the 1883 American Association pennant race from a St Louis approach. For someone who knows very little about 19th century baseball, it's been enjoyable.
