Please forgive us.After a brief break, it seems like a good time to get another book in, don’t you think? With almost literally nothing else happen for the next couple weeks, and then a big lull when Spring Training games lose their luster, maybe a good baseball book will help get us through these doldrums.As always Jimmy Wynn Jersey , I’ll write up a few options below and put a poll at the bottom of the post. Vote and share any thoughts you have in the comments. I’ll have a review and some interesting content to go with the book in early March.The second-place book in every poll we’ve done so far has been Power Ball: Anatomy of a Modern Baseball Game by Rob Neyer. It’s almost a joke now, but also a really good book by many accounts (Jonah Keri said we should read it!). Released in October, former ESPN and SB Nation writer Neyer recreates a single game from the 2017 season to highlight the ways the modern game has changed. Was named the CASEY award winner for 2018 by Spitball Magazine. Rated 4.21/5 with 78 ratings on Goodreads, from the description:In honor of Black History Month and Jackie Robinson’s 100th birthday (Jan. 31), our next option is Robinson’s autobiography, I Never Had It Made. In his own words, Robinson describes life as a pioneering baseball player and civil rights activist. Rated 3.95/5 with 1,318 ratings on Goodreads, from the description: As a fiction option, since this offseason has seemed to be stranger than fiction, The Universal Baseball Association Inc. by Robert Coover. A book about a man who creates his own fictional baseball league and plays it out over many years http://www.astrosfanproshop.com/authentic-justin-verlander-jersey , complete with rich lives for the players involved. Rated 3.85/5 with 1,815 ratings on Goodreads, from the description:And finally, something a little different. Since the Indians will feature some new (but not that different) threads this year, it might be interesting to look at some of the wilder designs out there, which makes Todd Radom’s Winning Ugly a fascinating study. Rated 3.90/5 with 10 ratings on Goodreads, from the description:And those are the choices. Let your voice be heard in the poll and happy reading!
