Baseball is one sport that has provided a plethora of excellent books. Some are all-time classics like The Boys of Summer by Roger Kahn and The Glory of their Times by Lawrence Ritter. Another all-time favorite of mine is the John Updike essay called Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu. More recently, former Kansas City Star columnist Joe Posnanski has scored with The Soul of Baseball and Why We Love Baseball. Often these books make their way to Hollywood and become hit movies, like Field of Dreams.
