Focusing on the ten most influential baseball books of all time,
this volume explores how these landmark works changed the game
itself and made waves in American society at large. Satchel Paige's
Pitchin' Man informed the dialog surrounding integration. Ring
Lardner's You Know Me Al changed the way Americans viewed their
baseball heroes and influenced the work of Hemingway and
Fitzgerald. Bill James's Baseball Abstract transformed the way
managers-including those in fields other than baseball-analyzed
numbers. Pete Rose's My Story and My Prison Without Bars exposed
and deepened a cultural divide that paved the way for Donald Trump.
