Favorite Baseball Books

The season is about to start! For now, we have spring training, college and high school baseball to satisfy the need to watch the sport.

In celebration of opening day being right around the corner, here is my personal list of favorite books on baseball, my favorite sport:

  • 9 Sides of the Diamond, David Falkner
  • Men at Work, by George Will
  • Moneyball, the Art of Winning an Unfair Game, by Michael Lewis Michael’s site: http://literati.net/Lewis/index.htm
  • The Game – One Man, Nine Innings, A Love Affair with Baseball, by Robert Benson Robert’s site: http://www.robertbensonwriter.com/
  • Little League Confidential – One Coach’s Completely Unauthorized Tale of Survival, by William Geist and Bill Geist
  • Mostly True – A Memoir of Family, Food, and Baseball, by Molly O’Neill Molly’s site: http://www.thirteen.org/molly/

You just have time to read one book before the season starts!
