June 13, 200322 yr MoneyBall and then Billy Beane's books. Hopefully they'll be good. Man, I can't remember the last time I bought a book other then when I bought the baseball america/baseball prospectus books. Oh well, I guess reading won't hurt. I'll tell you all what I think of these books after I read them, but from what I've heard they are both really good.

Are thet those things you put drinks on so your table won't get condensation on the coffe table???
June 13, 200322 yr I love to read. It hasn't been too long since I bought and reread "Ball Four" by Jim Bouton.
June 13, 200322 yr If you want a good baseball book get "Baseball As America" and get out to the field museum and see the exhibit!
June 13, 200322 yr The most recent books I just finished reading were: Live from New York: An unsensored history of Saturday Night Live Veeck as in Wreck and I read the Jordan Rules last fall and Last summer I read Bill James: Historical Baseball Abstract (the latest one, not the one from the 80's) Nothing like a good book
June 13, 200322 yr Also a GREAT book on the Sox is by Dan Helpingstine, and it is called "Through Hope and Dispare" It is a MUST read for any true sox fan. Even more so this year.
