Well..My wife and I have given away a couple of thousand books, and our walkout basement has several thousand more.

Military history is the biggest share of books, but baseball is well represented.

Let me get a pen and paper, and wander downstairs. BRB.

...okay. Not in any particular order, these are some of the baseball books in my library.

The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop. - Robert Coover

Bang the Drum Slowly. (the movie is even better) - Mark Harris

Bill James - pretty much everything ever written. I have his Annual Abstracts back to the point where they were 40 pages, and STAPLED.

You Know Me Al - Ring Lardner. The first of the great base ball writers...I based my Robert J. (Bubba) Jones OOTP dynasty partially on his style. Go look for it...30 thousand views, and worth the read, If I say so myself.

Jim Bouton's books. I was 13 when I read Ball Four. That ended my innocence years. I have read this book more times than any book, anywhere, not named Red Storm Rising. I met the man in a Costco, many years ago, and blew his mind when I told him the name of his chapter when he got sent to Hawaii, and talked about Mai Tai's.

Somehow, I managed to pick up a copy of a book, "Jimmy Makes the Varsity." Not sure when it was written, but it's a HOOT.

So MANY others. Several different compilations and encyclopedias. Bill James' historical abstracts, of course.

Even the history of Strat-O-Matic, written by the man who started the company.

Now...If you want a discussion, we could discuss board and dice baseball games we have owned. My list would be stupid long.
