Two Of The Best Baseball Books

April 16, 2009

Since it’s Jackie Robinson Day in Major League Baseball and MLB-TV is talking about the day’s theme, there are two books that kep popping into my head.  I highly recommend them.  The first is 1947: When All Hell Broke Loose In Baseball by Red Barber.   Barber was the voice of the Dodgers so he saw it and lived it.  The other book is by the late, great David Halberstam; The Summer of ‘49.  This is truly a baseball book, but it’s also a history book of America seen through the eyes of baseball.  You’ll notice a number of references from that book in future columns here.
