Baseball SeasonIf this is your season and you would like to celebrate by reliving some of the sport's greatest games (or seeing it through different eyes), here's a few among many other baseball goodies you can find @ your library:
Bottom of the Ninth : Branch Rickey, Casey Stengel, & the Daring Scheme to Save Baseball from Itself by Michael Shapiro discusses the Yankee and Dodger teams of the 1950s, particularly in the context of the Dodgers’ decision to relocate to California, a controversial business and sports move.
The Best Game Ever : Pirates vs. Yankees, October 16, 1960 by Jim Reisler covers the final game of the 1960 World Series through interviews, radio, and television accounts. In this game, the Pittsburgh Pirates’ victory surprised the Yankees and the larger baseball community.
Bruce Weber’s As They See ’Em: A Fan’s Travels in the Land of Umpires provides a different look at an important facet of the game, the umpire.
