1.		The Head Game: Baseball Seen from the Pitcher's Mound from Harvest Books Price: $11.25 Customer Review: Roger Kahn became famous for writing about "The Boys of Summer," but I think this was his most readable book about baseball.....kind of a treatise on pitchers and what makes them tick. He looks at great pitchers ranging all the way back to Christy Matthewson to modern-day men like Tom Glavine.more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Once More Around the Park: A Baseball Reader from Ivan R. Dee, Publisher Price: $13.22 Customer Review: I'm only half-joking with my title for this review, but I think that speaks to the loyalty and intensity with which baseball fans follow their sport and favorite teams. That said, I say God bless Roger Angell for his insightful writings about the greatest of games. This book is an awesome and vital... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Game Time: A Baseball Companion from Harvest Books Price: $10.20 Customer Review: Considered by many as baseball's poet laureate, Roger Angell displays his moving style in this compilation of top writing. Many of these previously-published essays date back to the 1970's and 1980's, yet each is worthy of a reading replay. Angell is at his best as he speaks with 91-year old Smokey... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Summer Game (Bison Book) from Bison Books Price: $12.21 Customer Review: Unlike everyone else in the world, I did not find this book to be all that great.A guy goes to baseball games or watches them on TV and gives you his side of things.Save yer money and come to my house I can do the same thing. Not much to hold my interest other than watching Tom Seaver play and a few... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two Teams, One Season to Remember from Little, Brown and Company Price: $17.81 Customer Review: I bought this book with great optimism. I'm a fan of baseball non-fiction and thought the concept was great. Unfortunately it has proven to be a tedious read. There is very little real insight into the mind of the pitcher and is basically a re-hashing of two teams' seasons. Nice idea but... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Ball Four from Wiley Price: $10.85 Customer Review: This was a provocative book when it was first published. Jim Bouton, who had been a star pitcher for the New York Yankees, was trying to mount a comeback by working on a knuckleball in the bullpen of the expansion team Seattle Pilots less than five years later. He was a world away from pitching in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Five Seasons: A Baseball Companion from Bison Books Price: $17.95 Customer Review: First, you must understand that Roger Angell has an ear for the language that's unlikely to be surpassed for many years. He was particularly a master of cadence. His virtuosity made even ordinary narrative sing. Second, Angell understands, indeed reveres, the eloquence of ordinary people. more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

A few things that seemed to stand out: -the style of writing is like... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Zim: A Baseball Life from McGraw-Hill Price: $11.70 Customer Review: One of the greatest characters of the game! Don Zimmer brings six decades of baseball to life in these pages. It's funny, serious, interesting, and unselfish. We all know that he's pretty much done it all in baseball, but this book will show you how. You'll meet lots of baseball people, and go... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
