It could be a fiction or non-fiction title. I'd like to read as many as possible.
The only one I've ever read was one on Cooperstown, and it was HUGE!
But I want to read more. Thanks, everyone.
P.S. ~ I didn't put this in "Books & Authors" because I like talking with you guys way better. So shoot me. : )

The Boys Of Summer by Roger Kahn. It's a really good book about the Brooklyn Dodgers.

Ball Four by Jim Bouton. The book was a diary of a season kept by pitcher Bouton. It was one of the first "tell all" sports books, giving the reader a look at baseball from the inside. It's one of the funniest baseball books around, too.

The Bingo Long Traveling All Stars and Motor Kings by William Brashler. It is a great novel about the ***** League.
