Book Reviews of The Book of Baseball Literacy
Book Review: An excellent look at everything about baseball
Summary: 5 Stars
The Book of Baseball Literacy is the kind of book that you can pick up and put down anytime. It has fun and informative biographies of important baseball people, plus team histories, descriptions of ballparks, explanations about statistics, and a lot more. I consider myself a knowledgable baseball fan, but even when the book discusses things I thought I already knew, there's always a story or fact that I'd never heard before. The author isn't shy about injecting opinions and funny stories, and that makes it fun to read, even when I disagree with him. I highly recommend it to any baseball fan.
