Baseball DIY

I just received a book catalog with this great sounding title, A Great Day at Cooperstown. It details the origins of the Hall of Fame and looks at not only the early stars of the game, but also the origins of the baseball myth in America.

Carroll & Graf is a great publisher, but unfortunately not a big one. That means this is the kind of book that gets buried deep in the Sports section at the big bookstores, and not displayed on the front tables. It sounds perfect for any fan of the game itself (and not of just one team) and author Jim Reisler has all the right credentials for putting together a book of this nature. Do you know why the Hall was built in Cooperstown? Neither do I - might be worth a read to find out!
