I know the past few weeks the only content I’ve provided is the top ten list but I’m hoping for that to change soon. I’m making my way through a few books and I have a few new ones on the way. In the meantime, keeping on my regular Sunday schedule has at least given me something to write about here. Anyway, here’s the list.
1) Yankee Stadium: The Official Retrospective
2) Baseball Prospectus 2008
3) We Would Have Played for Nothing
4) The Mental ABC’s of Pitching
5) Vindicated
6) Moneyball
7) The 33 Year Old Rookie
8) Bill James Goldmine 2008
9) Red Sox Rule
10) Rob Neyer’s Big Book of Baseball Legends
Most important, Baseball Prospectus has been dethroned. They’ve topped the list every week so far since I started this but the Yankee Stadium Retrospective got a big bump and it knocked BP down to number two. I have a feeling BP will back on top here soon though. There were also three debuts to the list. Fay Vincent’s “We Would Have Played for Nothing” made it all the way to number three while The Mental ABC’s of Pitching lands at number four. The Mental ABC’s book isn’t new so I’m wondering where it got mentioned to give it such a big pop. Rob Neyer’s new book just made the list at number.
Bill James Goldmine fell all the way to number eight and they could be dropping off soon. I’m getting the Rob Neyer book in the mail soon and I’m hoping to get some more formal reviews done in the next week or so.
