Baseball DIY

Patrick Jennings has a new book, Out Standing in my Field, about what it's like to grow up as the son of Ty Cobb's greatest fan. Let's just say it isn't an environment that makes a kid love baseball. And John H. Ritter has a book about urban sprawl and why baseball fields matter in The Boy who Saved Baseball. This one carries a lot of the Southern California influence over into the storyline and raises questions about how we live, both on and off the field.

Summertime is coming, and the kids are going to need something to read so check 'em out before everybody else does!
