1.		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


2.		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


3.		The Glory of Their Times : The Story of Baseball Told By the Men Who Played It from Harper Paperbacks Price: $10.62 Customer Review: I had read where this was considered by many as "the best baseball book of all time." Well, you know how hype like that works; rarely is anything as good as it's built up. Not in this case. This really IS fantastic baseball material. It's so good that several people have copied its format since but... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		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


5.		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


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.		Branch Rickey: Baseball's Ferocious Gentleman from University of Nebraska Press Price: $25.51 Customer Review: This book took me months to finish, not because it was dull, which it is not, but because it is dense, a 750 page tome and written memoriam to Branch Rickey, the man known in baseball as "The Ferocious Gentleman," "The Mahatma," or (less flatteringly), "El Cheapo." How does an author manage to write... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		A Well-Paid Slave: Curt Flood's Fight for Free Agency in Professional Sports from Plume Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Though not a great book, or even the book that Curt Flood may have deserved, "A Well-Paid Slave" is important American history well worth reading. The best parts are the details of how Flood grew up in Oakland in a time when baseball players came out of the city in droves as well as his minor league... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America from William Morrow Price: $5.99 Customer Review: The Soul of Baseball illuminates what life can be. It would help anyone get past their bitterness and see that life is about what I can do today and not what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow.

10.		Three Nights in August: Strategy, Heartbreak, and Joy Inside the Mind of a Manager from Mariner Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review: An incredible work of art!! I myself am a Cardinals fan, but that does not mean that this book isn't a great read for any fan of baseball. I have friends and co-workers who are fans of the dreaded Cubs, they have read this book and loved it as well!
