Catching up on your reading
As a follow up to today's column flogging Jose Canseco and his new book, "Vindicated," -- and here's the link to that Pat Jordan piece on trying to find him for an interview -- we wanted to catch everyone up on our really lame cool "30 Books in 30 Days of April" series -- that is, trying to give some quick reviews of 30 books about the sport that have sprung this spring.
Someone has to sort through this finely worded mess. We take the cause up with glassy eyes.
The series so far:
April 1: "101 Baseball Places to See Before You Strike Out"
April 2: "Baseball's Greatest Quotations: An Illustrated Treasury of Baseball Quotations and Historical Lore"
April 3: "The ESPN Baseball Encyclopedia: Fifth Edition"
April 4: "My Bat Boy Days: Lessons I Learned from the Boys of Summer" by Steve Garvey
April 5: "Change Up: An Oral History of 8 Key Events That Shaped Baseball"
Today: "Benchclearing: Baseball's Greatest Fights and Riots"
Monday: "The Code: Baseball's Unwritten Rules and Its Ignore-at-Your-Own-Risk Code of Conduct"
Tuesday: "Rob Neyer's Big Book of Baseball Legends"
Wednesday: "The 33-Year-Old Rookie: Chris Coste"
Thursday: "The Rise and Fall of Dodgertown"
