Baseball books


Champions: A Look Back at the Phillies Triumphant 2008 Season


by: By the Staff of the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily News
There have been a few books released on the Phillies championship run. This book is easily the best of those already available. The pictures in particular are magnificent. Sports Illustrated has always been known for their great photos, but the pictures in this book put those in the Sports Illustrated magazine and commemorative book to shame. Shane Victorino is my favorite player and the photos of him rounding the bases after his grand slam off Sabathia and then being restrained by his team mates after a ball was thrown at his head during the playoffs with the Dodgers are priceless.


A Splintered History of Wood: Belt Sander Races, Blind Woodworkers, and Baseball Bats


by: Spike Carlsen
Spike Carlsen has taken a pedestrian subject -- dare I say a wooden subject -- and breathed life into it. From his fascinating study of tree mechanics, to the short but compelling essays about folks whose lives have been changed by wood, he uses the English language as a master woodworker uses a lathe, carving out a book that is rich with intricate detail, twists and turns. It's humorous without being snarky, and filled with astute observations of the human condition.


Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective


by: Al Santasiere
We bought this book as a gift for a Yankee fan. It was a great gift because he really liked it. Lots of history and wonderful pictures.


Beyond Belief: Finding the Strength to Come Back


by: Josh Hamilton
I have never received this book. I ordered it late November for a Christmas present for my oldest son but the book never made it to me.
