At my first glance at the cover, I also thought it was an old PBO. By the way I came across a copy of the 1992 Saskatchewan Historical Baseball Review at a book sale a couple of weeks ago. Was willing to spend a buck when I saw your piece on The Women of Baseball. Actually I think I have another copy boxed somewhere.

I especially appreciated the mentions of Bull Durham (one of my favorite movies), and The Art of Fielding, which was such a good novel I actually got jealous I didn't write it! I saw a comment in this thread about the Myron Bolitar books, and I highly recommend checking those out. Too, if you dig baseball as much as I do, give Nine Bucks a Pound by James Bailey a try. It's not a mystery, but the writing and characters are fantastic, and Bailey nails what's it like to play professional baseball. Cheers.

I think the sport is incidental to such novels although those who follow a particular sport, like baseball or cricket, are more likely to read them. For me, first and foremost, it is a crime fiction or a murder mystery. Prashant C.
