Baseball book recommendation. Crazy 08.

Post by oaktonhokie »

The season of 1908, includes a lot of historical data of the time. Not just the baseball stuff.

Ty Cobb, Honus Wagner, and of course poor Freddie Merkle.

The focus is on the National League pennant race, and mostly that between the Giants and the Cubs.

Hong, I know you were a player. Don't know you're interested in the history, but this I think is pretty interesting.

Interesting connection between Honus Wagner, and Mo of the Three Stooges.
