So are there two Jared Diamond's who are authors?  I have read a few books by Jared Diamond including Guns, Germs and Steel, the World Before Yesterday and Collapse, but I see nothing about him having a baseball book.

I loved all three of his books I have read.  He does excellent work.

This is a really good listen with much more Joe Borchard than I expected

Swing Kings is a great book. I had no idea that Joe Borchard basically led Craig Wallenbrock to Paul Konerko.
