* Another list of "bests"

July 8, 2009

I participated in a survey of the “best” baseball fiction and non-fiction books from the Hardball Cooperative site. It was an honor to be included with such learned contributors.

Of course, one person’s meat is another’s poison; the comment’s made to the Baseball Think Factory, to which a link was posted, indicates that quite clearly.  Look, these things are totally subjective, but for what it’s worth, my choices were Rob Neyer’s Big Book of Baseball Legends and Philip Roth’s The Great American Novel. Talk amongst yourselves.

The whole (brief) lists:

Non-fiction

Fiction

I believe it was Alan Alda’s character of Hawkeye on M*A*S*H who said it best: “My favorite book is the dictionary: it’s got all the other books in it.”
