Im going to get Diamonds in the Rough, the Untold History of Baseball, that sounds really good.
Recently, I read that book bout the woman baseball fan /writer who wrote a book bout the Yankees by following them around and such. I forget name of it, and didnt finish it. Currently, im reading "The Ballad of Billy and George" by Phil Pepe and enjoying it immensely, I was a teenager during those years and lots of memories so far, and its easy to read, plus Im learning things I didnt know before about both men.

"Catcher" by Peter Morris is a great read. History of the catching position.
I'm looking forward to the "Biography of Al Kaline " which is being released at the end of March. Author : Jim Hawkins.

Does anyone have a review for "Crazy '08"?
I have picked it up from the shelf at the bookstore twice now, only to put it back for some reason.......not sure why I haven't given it a chance. Would be interested in any reviews someone might have.
