So if you haven’t gotten your literary sports fan anything yet, here are some suggestions from Joe Favorito, a specialist in sports branding. You’ll have to winnow out the baseball titles from the rest. Same for Stiletto Sport’s list (sorry if I sound chauvanistic, but only a women’s list could consider Alyssa Milano’s Safe at Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic a “must-read.” A much better choice would be Jane Heller’s Confessions of a She-Fan.)
And, for what it’s worth, here are a few recommendations from the Bookshelf:
- Baseball Americana (Coauthor Harry Katz appeared on the Dec. 16 All Things Considered. You can hear the interview here:
- Sports Illustrated’s Baseball Books
- Yankees 365
- Ballparks Then and Now, by Eric Enders
- Ballet in the Dirt, by Neil Leifer
