John Miller says in our Conversation that he was actually coaching a high school game when he found out that The Last Manager: How Earl Weaver Tricked, Tormented, and Reinvented Baseball won the popular CASEY Award, given by Spitball Magazine to the best baseball book of the year. That’s sounds like a scene out of […]

First one of the year? Where does the time go? As I will proudly state with regularity, 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of the Bookshelf in this format. There were a couple of versions prior to that, but once I found WordPress, what you see is what you get. Amazon keeps changing the way they […]

Hurdle•isms: Wit and Wisdom from a Lifetime in Baseball, by Clint Hurdle Ever notice how the pairing is always “wit and wisdom,” never “sadness and wisdom”? Hmmm. This is going to be a short one. Instead of the play on the author’s name, another appropriate title could have been Plat-titudes for baseball, any sport, or […]

Now that the season is over, it’s time to look ahead to see what reading material will carry us over to “pitchers and catchers.” As with previous lists like this, I have omitted anything that falls into the general category of “romance novels.” Also, no books about trivia or designed for younger readers.

NOTE: By the time you read this, the World Series might be over. If that’s the case, I wonder how quickly a book about the winner will take to publish. I am willing to bet cash money that such a book will be on the BBS next week. ***** A reminder: The Amazon rankings are […]
