Kaplan: On the horizon, new baseball books in 2013
From SABR member Ron Kaplan at Ron Kaplan’s Baseball Bookshelf on January 9, 2013:
Besides my own book, there are some titles I’m really looking forward to this season. Among them:
- Keepers of the Game: When the Baseball Beat was the Best Job on the Paper by Dennis D’Agostino
- The Victory Season: The End of World War II and the Birth of Baseball’s Golden Age by Robert Weintraub
- Mickey and Willie: Mantle and Mays, The Parallel Lives of Baseball’s Golden Age by Allen Barra (too many “Golden Ages?”)
- Willard Mullin’s Golden Age Of Baseball Drawings 1934-1972 by Hal Bock
- Baseball as a Road to God: Seeing Beyond the Game by John Sexton (president of NYU)
- Who’s on Worst?: The Lousiest Players, Biggest Cheaters, Saddest Goats and Other Antiheroes in Baseball History by NY Daily News columnist Filip Bondy
- A trio of Mets’ book including Swinging ’73: Baseball’s Wildest Season by Matthew Silverman and Summers at Shea: Tom Seaver Loses His Overcoat and Other Mets Stories by Ira Berkow; and Put It In the Book!: A Half-Century of Mets Mania by Howie Rose plus a couple of memoirs by ex-Mets: Long Shot by Mike Piazza and Lonnie Wheeler, and Doc: A Memoir by Dwight Gooden and Ellis Henican
