Baseball Book Top Ten - Living On the Black Takes Top Spot May 18th, 2008

We have a new number one, with Living on the Black taking the top spot from the 33 Year Old Rookie.   There’s also two new books to the top ten so lets take a look at the list.

1) Living on the Black
2) Moneyball
3) The 33 Year Old Rookie
4) Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective
5) Deep Drive
6) Cubs Forever
7) The Soul of Baseball
8) We Would Have Played for Nothing
9) Rob Neyer’s Big Book of Baseball Legends
10) Red Sox Rule

Mike Lowell’s book, Deep Drive, made a nice debut at number five while The Soul of Baseball, which is about Buck O’Neill, showed up at number seven.  Just a quick note, I’m sure The Soul of Baseball was in the top ten on Amazon.com at some point, but since I started this site, this is the first time it’s popped into the top ten.  Not sure why, because there’s no clearance sale so it must have gotten a mention somewhere.  Red Sox Rule, which is about Terry Francona, popped back on the list at number ten.

Also, for the first time since I started doing this, Baseball Prospectus has slipped from the list.  That’s at least two months in the top ten with most of those weeks at number one.
