Baseball Book Top Ten – The House That Ruth Built

by @ Monday, June 16th, 2008. Filed under Rob Neyer, Top Ten Baseball Books

There’s little doubt that Yankee Stadium is iconic in nature so it’s no surprise that with the All Star Game coming to the Bronx, that Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective would eventually top the baseball book list.  Outside of tha…

1) The 33 Year Old Rookie
2) [...]

Baseball Book Top Ten – The Mental Side of the Game

Baseball Book Top Ten – Easter Edition

There’s a couple of newcomers this week.  It’s interesting how a few days can shift this list a lot.  Just a couple of days ago, the 33 Year Old Rookie would have been near the bottom but it’s had a good showing while the ESPN Encyclopedia was moving up only to plummet off the list [...]
