* A look ahead at baseball titles

February 17, 2009

From our friend Greg Spira comes this link to LibraryJournal.com’s annual baseball feature. Among the usual share of biographies and memoirs, histories, and social commentaries are such themes as:

  • Yet another biography about Yogi Berra, this one by homonymic author Allen Barra, and one on Walter O’Malley by Michael D’Antonio
  • Ira Berkow’s bio of Lou Brissie, a World War II vet who overcame a leg injury to enjoy a successful career as a major league pitcher
  • A memoir by former Met pitcher Ron Darling and one from Matt McRathy, a fellow yale graduate who didn’t quite enjoy his colleague’s success
  • Jane Heller’s Confession of a She-Fan
  • A long-overdue book from oral historian Donald Honig
  • Torre’s tome
  • James E. Brunson’s look at the early years of black baseball and Marilyn Cohen’s treatise on the exclusion of women journalists from the sport
  • Alyssa Milano’s take on the game (she has her own line of baseball-centric apparel, you know)
  • A bio on Red Sox GM Theo Epstein
  • And the ubiquitous “and many more”
