Were’ getting to the point where the new baseball titles — at least the ones not dedicated to the fantasy side — will be coming out hot and heavy. Given the state of print journalism, I wonder how much space will be devoted to individual reviews. I think we’ll see items like this from the Christian Science Monitor more and more.
The piece — presented as a slide-show — runs with the title “8 new baseball books to carry you through spring training” which includes, in order:
- Gil Hodges: A Hall of Fame Life, by Mort Zachter
- The Yankee Way, by Willie Randolph (which is not a new book at all)
- 100 Years of Who’s Who in Baseball, by Douglas Lyons
- The Matheny Manifesto, by Mike Matheny with Jerry B. Jenkins
- The Cooperstown Chronicles, by Frank Russo (new-ish since it was published last October)
- The Bill James Handbook 2015
- The Death Row All Stars, by Howard Kazanjian and Chris Enss (also a 2014 entry. To be fair, the subhead of the article does say “recent.” So do we have to differentiate between “recent” and “new?”)
- Joe Black: More Than a Dodger, by Martha Joe Black and Chuck Shoffner (still can’t understand why she gets first billing)
