* Baseball book roundup: Chicago Sun-Times

March 31, 2008

With the dozens of new titles out each year, it’s interesting to see if there’s a consensus among the major media as to which titles to promote. I’ll be looking into that further a bit later, when more data comes in.

For now, here’s the take from the Sun-Times:

  • Change Up: An Oral History of 8 Key Events That Shaped Modern Baseball (Rodale)
  • Asterisk: Home Runs, Steroids and the Rush to Judgment (Triumph)
  • The Code: Baseball’s Unwritten Rules and Ignore-at-Your Own Risk Code of Conduct (Triumph)
  • Wrigley Season Ticket: An Annual Guide To Chicago Cubs Baseball Maple Street Press)

It should be noted that the last three books mentioned have Chicago connections: Triumph is based in the Windy City and, well, the final title is self-explanatory. Coincidence? Is Triumph an advertiser perhaps?
