Review roundup, June 19

June 19, 2013

Nuckolball posted a review of Robert Creamer’s classic bio, Babe: The Legend Comes to Life.

These are kind of like mini-reviews, so I’m including Baseball Nation’s piece on “Your favorite baseball books,” which includes, among others, Philip Roth’s The Great American Novel, The Glory of Their Times: The Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told by the Men Who Played It\, and The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop.

Not exactly sure why there are two new bios about this Pirates’ Hall of Famer at this particular time (no anniversary of his birth or death), but Pete Peterson’s Pops: The Willie Stargell Story is reviewed on Lancaster Online. The other one is Willie Stargell: A Life in Baseball, by Frank Garland.

The Utica Observer Dispatch posted this one about Dallas Green’s new memoir, The Mouth That Roared: My Six Outspoken Decades in Baseball.
