OT: Any new good book suggestions?

Did you read the book about Maris? I really enjoyed it. Now, to get you off subject, if you like stuff about the mob, I suggest the book Havana Nocturne. This is a very fast read in that you won't put the book down.

Just finished reading "Endzone: The Rise, Fall and Return of Michigan Football"

I liked the fact that is wasn't about the game but behind the scenes of how Michigan football went downhill.

I read Brooks, The Biography of Brooks Robinson by Doug Wilson. Really enjoyed it!

How about mid century baseball cards?

I would read some of Bill James books.
The New Baseball Historical Abstract is amazing.
You could also read Whatever Happened to the Hall of Fame.

Both are easy reads, loaded with information and can be read all at once or in many sittings.

Drew - I'm finishing up "Veeck as in Wreck." Not current, but a good read. 1st edition was in 1962. He was a character and gives a lot of incite, anecdotes re: '40's - '60's baseball. Informative and entertaining. My copy is from 2001, so it isn't out of print. Your Aunt can likely find it on Amazon.
