Always afraid I'm going to break the game since I have two left thumbs and am computer illiterate at times.

Mitchkenn, what books about the minors were you reading? I love reading about the game and would welcome recommendations. Thanks.
Four of the books still in my room about the minors (most of the ones in here are reference books on the Negro Leagues - rest got boxed into the garage earlier this year) are Pacific Coast League (1903-1988) by Bill O'Neal, The American Association (1902-1991) by Bill O'Neal,
The International League 1884-1991 - by Bill O'Neal, The League Of Outsider Baseball - Gary Cieradkowsi. Also first one i read was on the Texas league, but it's boxed so i don't want to move half the stuff in my garage to find who the author was. Got all of them from Amazon. All interesting reads for me.

biggest problem with this "room" is lack of room, with 11,000 records and Cds, a large stack of poetry books, my Negro League books (mostly reference books) and a few books on other topics, oh, and an older computer that i use mostly to play OOTP.
