John Marshall, book critic for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, recently offered this list of his favorite baseball titles for 2007:
- Crazy ’08, by Cait Murphy
- The Psychology of Baseball, by Mike Stadler
- Senior Year, by Dan Shaughnessy
- Tales From the Seattle Mariners Dugout, by Kirby Arnold
- Baseball Haiku,edited by Cor van den Heuvel and Nanae Tamura
- Playing America’s Game, by Adrian Burgos Jr.
- Dreaming Baseball, by James T. Farrell
- Watching Baseball Smarter, by Zack Hample
All good choices.The only one I question is Tales. Sports Publishing LLC has printed at least one version for almost every major league team, mostly composed of anecdotes about the players, sometimes under the imprimatur of a personality associated with the specific team. You really have to be a fan to get behind these titles, so I won’t quibble too much here.

Thanks for the stop by. Excellent website for baseball. I mix it up a bit, due to the few readers I have, therefore, baseball, though a passion, is not the sole subject of interest. I’ll have to add you to the blogroll
