Diamonds in the Rough: The Untold History of Baseball

Rating:
Summary: Information for the casual or hardcore fan
Review: This book looks at a wide variety of avenues of the baseball world. There are chapters on umpires, women in baseball, deaths related to baseball, international baseball, the music and literature of baseball, baseball during wartime and other baseball related subjects. The book is written in such a way that I found that the chapters do not have to be read in the order they are presented. The book is full of history, interesting to read and a must for any baseball fan.
