Default Summer Reading

Posted By: Greg Ecklund

"The Pitch That Killed" by Mike Sowell is a fantastic book about the fatal beaning of Ray Chapman by Carl Mays; it continues after the beaning, however, and tells the rest of the story of the 1920 Indians team managed by Tris Speaker. One of Sowell's other books, "July 2, 1903" is about the death of Ed Delahanty and I would recommend that one as well.

The new book about Hal Chase called "The Black Prince of Baseball" is also worth picking up.
