* Review: Living on the Black

November 18, 2008

This one on John Feinstein’s most recent baseball title comes from the DailySkew Baseball blog.

Upshot:

Overall, a good modern baseball book about how cerebral the game of pitching is, and how pitchers work out in-between starts. Also, an inside look into the Mets 2007 collapse (so you can read about Willie Randolph, Jose Reyes, Lastings Milledge, Billy Wagner, David Wright, Paul Lo Duca and more). On the Yankees side, you get to see how Joe Torre managed one of the great comeback seasons, and read about such players as Chien-Ming Wang, Joba Chamberlain, and Roger Clemens.

It’s a great tribute to two future Hall of Famers.
