As previously mentioned, I have given away a lot of the books from my baseball library. That’s freed up a lot of room in the attic, but there’s still lots to sift through as I shift things around, still discarding some items while moving others to my main office in the basement. As anyone who […]

Note: Just like Chuck Lorre’s “vanity cards” at the end of The Big Bang Theory, you should read these list stories to their conclusion; the end is always changing, even though the theme is basically the same, finishing up with a self-promotional message. So without further ado, here are the top ten baseball books as […]

Forbes Magazine looks at baseball from a mostly financial point of view. Although I haven’t seen a stand-alone print edition for many years, they bstill do an above-average job of covering the game for a non-sports publication. Among the preview/review articles recently posted: MLB Worth $36B As Team Values Hit Record $1.2B Average The best […]

Submitted for your interest from another semi-regular scan of new titles. It may seem unfair, but I do tend to judge e-books by their cover, especially when they are offered only in that format. It’s an indication of the time and effort the author/publisher puts into the project. Similarly, I’m basing my opinions strictly on […]

It’s no secret that I am not a huge fan of fantasy baseball. I have enough trouble balancing my checkbook without putting together a fake team and then keeping track of the day-to-day dealings and statistical upkeep that I would surely do — at least for a couple of weeks. But that doesn’t mean I’m […]
