"The History of Baseball in Ten Pitches." Fantastic.

I read, or rather listened, to the book, and can second the recommendation. This is maybe the 'purest' baseball book I have ever encountered, written by an intelligent guy, but an absolute baseball junkie - the type whose first thought, if he learned the world was ending tomorrow, was how to squeeze in the World Series before the finish.

LOL GR. I remember a cousin and I involved deeply in the ‘59 three way race between the G’s, the Dodgers and the Braves. There was that other race between us and the Soviets. One day he said, “If we are going to bomb each other I hope they wait until November.”
