Michael Marotta of the Boston Herald offers a few suggestions of good reads as the season approaches, including:
- Far From Home - Latino Baseball Players in America, by Tim Wendel and Jose Luis Villegas (National Geographic Society)
- The Bill James Gold Mine 2008, by Bill James (ACTA Sports)
- Facing Clemens: Hitters on Hitting Against Baseball’s Most Intimidating Pitcher, by Jonathan Mayo (Lyons Press)
- Asterisk: Home Runs, Steroids and the Rush to Judgment, by David Ezra (Triumph Books)
- Rumor in Town, by Matt Dahlgren (self-published)
- Making the Play: How to Get the Best of Baseball Back, by Dave Winfield (Simon & Schuster).
Great call on “Rumor in Town” by Matt Dahlgren….it was such a great book and an inspirational story. I loved it!
