Any new books on baseball history or research out or coming out?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

I think for the most part, "new" baseball books are usually targeted for Spring and Summer releases - 'tho I could be wrong. If I'm right, you might be better served aiming at books that came out in the last 6 to 9 months that you have not yet read.

That all said, see: http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/baseball...&-max=20&-find

for some newbies, I think.

Thanks, I've got two family members that always expect a new baseball book from me.

Hey, any book they haven't read yet is new. Go for a classic, like "Veeck as in Wreck!"

"Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy" by Jane Leavy was very good.

Perhaps Steve will get the leather-bound collector's edition of last year's essay contest pieces to the NetShrine store by Xmas. I hear it'll be a dual volume along with a complete set of Ruminations. Scrawling on the Scorecard will round out the trilogy in Xmas '04. Movie rights still available.
