Source: Lists of baseball fiction

August 6, 2007

Several guides to baseball fiction have been thoughtfully created by a number of readers and writers. Note that the same titles are bound to appear on the various “rosters.”

  • Tim Morris, a professor at the University of Texas at Arlington, developed this Guide to Baseball Fiction, which includes novels, short stories, juvenile fiction, plays, and criticism.
  • Peter Bjarkman, chair of SABR’s Latin American committee offers his list of the dozen best baseball novels, 50 recommended books, and “recent” works. Judging by the publication dates — some of which are more than 20 years old — it would seem he means he discovered them recently, rather than when they arrived at bookstores.
  • Marylaine Block’s annotated list of baseball titles from her “BookBytes” Web site.
  • Dan Nichols’ bare-bones list of titles, both adult and juvenile. Note that this was last updated seven years ago.
