Whats your favorite baseball book?

My favorite was Shoeless Joe and Ragtime Baseball, which was a good look at baseball in those days. Liked Luciano's "The Fall of the Roman Umipire", Bill Spaceman Lee's "The Wrong Stuff" and the classics, Ball 4 and the Bronx Zoo.

Joe Dimaggio: The Hero's Life by richard ben cramer. some say a hatchet job, but a great, great read.

Ted Williams: The biography of an American Hero by leigh montville. cried at the end.

The Dickson Baseball Dictionary

Have had one of these for years. Not only covers the definitions of any baseball word or phrase you could possibly think of, but also the origins. Lots of fascinating history and factoids in here.

It is a short synopsis of around 20-30 of the greatest ballplayers in the early 1900's.

GREAT BOOK..........HIGHLY, HIGHLY rcommend it.

Have read a ton of baseball books, and this is one of my favorites, if not THE favorite.

just finished "Clemente: The Passion and Grace of Baseball's Last Hero", by pulitzer winner, david maraniss. we all know abt the sad ending, but a very fascinating read. loved clemente before, but he is really back in my heart now. it's a new book, and i don't know if it's in paperback yet.
