* Congratulations, Chris Coste

April 22, 2008

The Phillies catcher/author has the best-selling baseball book at the moment, according to Amazon.com. The only other baseball title is Cubs Forever: Memories from the Men Who Lived Them, by Bob Vorwald (not bad considering it’s not even in stock yet.)

Coste’s auto-bio, The 33-Year-Old Rookieis ranked #1 in biographies & memoirs/biographies/baseball; History/United States/State & Local/Pennsylvania; and Sports/Baseball/History.

The top ten books in that last category include:

  • Cubs Forever
  • Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective
  • We Would Have Played for Nothing, by Fay Vincent
  • Rob Neyer’s Big Book of Baseball Legends
  • Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two teams, One Season to Remember, by John Feinstein
  • The Mental ABC’s of Pitching: A Handbook for Performance Enhancement (how did that get in here?)
  • The Greatest Game: The Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Playoff of ’78, by Richard Bradley
  • But Didn’t We Have Fun? An Informal History of Baseball’s Pioneer Era, 1843-1870, by Peter Morris
  • Yankee Stadium: A Tribute: 85 Years of Memories, 1923-2008, by Les Krantz
