Baseball Book Top Ten - The House That Ruth Built

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

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 that, it’s mostly more of the same with just one debut.
1) Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective
2) The 33 […]

Baseball Book Top Ten - Show Me the Money

by @ Sunday, June 1st, 2008. Filed under Top Ten Baseball Books, Rob Neyer

Since I started doing these lists, the only book that has stayed in the top ten week in and week out has been Moneyball by Michael Lewis.  I read it about a year after it came out and found it an interesting read but with it having such staying power, it might be worth a […]

Baseball Book Top Ten - It’s Been A While

by @ Sunday, May 4th, 2008. Filed under Baseball Prospectus, Top Ten Baseball Books, Rob Neyer

I took a couple of weeks off on this and ironically, without a lot of new entrants into the mix, the list is most of the same books from three weeks ago, albeit in a different order.  We have a new number one which is interesting but here’s the list:
1) The 33 Year Old Rookie
2) […]

Baseball Book Top Ten - The Mental Side of the Game

by @ Sunday, April 13th, 2008. Filed under Baseball Prospectus, Bill James, Top Ten Baseball Books, Rob Neyer

For the second week in a row, we have a new number one book on the Amazon.com top ten baseball book list.  This week it’s H.A. Dorfman’s The Mental ABC’s of Pitching.  The book came out in 2000 and it looks like a New York Times editorial a couple of weeks ago is what caused […]

Baseball Book Top Ten - We Have A New Champion

by @ Sunday, April 6th, 2008. Filed under Baseball Prospectus, Bill James, Top Ten Baseball Books, Rob Neyer

I know the past few weeks the only content I’ve provided is the top ten list but I’m hoping for that to change soon.  I’m making my way through a few books and I have a few new ones on the way.  In the meantime, keeping on my regular Sunday schedule has at least given […]

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 […]
