If you are looking for a baseball book that is fast becoming one of the classic baseball tomes of all time, look no further than "The First Fall Classic...The Red Sox, The Giants, And The Cast of Players, Pugs And Politicos Who Reinvented The World Series In 1912."
Written by New York Post Sports Columnist Mike Vaccaro, "The First Fall Classic" is a tremendous look into baseball in the past and what it was like to be an American nearly 100-years ago.
Other worthwhile books by Vaccaro include, "Emporers And Idiots" (an inside look at the Red Sox-Yankees rivalry) and "1941 The Greatest Year In Sports."

While we're talkin' baseball books, two tomes -- oddly enough -- about the 2008 season stand out: "Crazy '08: How a Cast of Cranks, Rogues, Boneheads, and Magnates Created the Greatest Year in Baseball History" by Cait Murphy and "The Unforgettable Season" by G.H. Fleming. Both are fast-paced, colorful and richly detailed reads about one of the greatest years in baseball's tapestried history. Enough Hot Stove stuff here to keep you warm until spring training, which is a little over a month away.
ReplyDeleteGood suggestions Bock. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI usually read "Ball Four" before the season starts. My favorite baseball book ever.
