Origins of base ball
-
A well-written tale of the earliest years of base ball: its rise out of older bat-and-ball games, its importance as a game and as a point of civic pride, its life during and after the Civil War, its transition to professionalism, and, briefly, the aftermath thereof. A must-read for anyone unfamiliar ... (continue)

A Must-Read

Read this book. Read it now. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200, until you read this book. It is warm and sad and funny and heartbreaking and beautiful. Joe Posnanski is one of the best, if not the best, sportswriters working today, and he's one of the best writers, too. He doesn't go the Roger Kah ... (continue)

Stellar book. Well-written and fascinating. Weber attended the Jim Evans umpiring school in Florida and did extensive interviewing and research in an effort to bring fans inside the life and mind of a Major League umpire. I don't think reading this book will get anyone to go easier on umpires in the heat of the moment, but it will certainly help you after the fact when you think about what it is they do, exactly, without help from slo-mo television cameras and countless replays of every moment of the game, and what they have to go through to get this far. Great book.
