I agree with you, I think Mr. Creamer's book is the best one about the Babe. In the picture section, did you happen to see Babe standing with his father in the bar? I can't believe how much they look like twins rather than father and son.

I just finished 'Chasing Moonlight' - it was pretty good - he was an interesting man.

I'm also currently reading 'The Pride of the Yankees' about the making of that movie and 'Roger Maris: Baseball's Reluctant Hero'.

I'm also reading 'Loserville' and 'Team of Rivals' simultaneously with the others...read a chapter in one, then move to the next one. (keeps me from getting bogged down with one)

'Loserville' describes the build up of Atlanta and how luring major league sports teams effected that progression.

'Team of Rivals' is subititled 'The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln' - it is fascinating...amazing parallels to many political issues of today.

I'm currently listening (audiobook addict) to 59 in '84 and the Summer of Beer and Whiskey by Edward Achorn.

They are narrated very well and go over Old Hoss Radbourn in 1884 and the St. Louis Browns in 1883 respectively.
