I’m a day late here, but it’s opening day so there’s no better day then to talk about baseball. Anyway, there’s quite a few debuts this week so let’s get to the list.
1) Baseball Prospectus 2008
2) Vindicated
3) Moneyball
4) The 33 Year Old Rookie
5) Bill James Goldmine 2008
6) Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective
7) Red Sox Rule
 Baseball America 2008 Prospect Handbook
9) But Didn’t We Have Fun
10) The Greatest Game
Those pesky writers from Baseball Prospectus retain their top spot but they’re getting some serious heat from Jose Canseco, who’s new book debuts at number two. Bill James Goldmine 2008 drops all the way to number five while the BA Prospect Handbook looks to be gone from the list soon.
There’s two other debuts at the bottom of the list. But Didn’t We Have Fun is written by Peter Morris, who I’ve met and read his other work. He’s an excellent reseacher and writer so this is definitely a book I’m going to pick up. The Greatest Game is an indepth look at the Red Sox/Yankees one game playoff back in 1978 and it also looks like a solid read.
Have a great Opening Day!
