The best things in life are free: Winning Ugly

September 1, 2020

Another in a series of occasional postings.

Regular visitors know that I usually put up a Baseball Best-Sellers list on Fridays. These feature the top 10 titles according to Amazon in print, e-books (Kindle), and audio formats.

Amazon offers lists for paid and free books in the e-book category. (Here’s an explanation of why some books are offered for free. This time there are more than 70 gratis titles as of this writing: 6 p.m. on September 1. (Hank Greenberg in 1938 is in the top ten at #8.)

For the past month or so, there has been a substantial increase in the number and quality of free baseball titles. This episode’s highlight is Winning Ugly: A Visual History of the Most Bizarre Baseball Uniforms Ever Worn, by the artist Todd Radom, with whom I enjoyed an entertaining Bookshelf Conversation in 2018 when his book was first released. I believe there have been some uni variations since then that would qualify for a revised edition.

Keep checking Amazon’s freebies regularly. There are always new things to explore but you never know how long they will be available, so strike while the iron is hot.
