Sounds to me ...Was that the one about Ron LeFlore?<br /><br />Sounds to me like we have a call for "Best Baseball Books." Tom, I'll put you in charge of that one. My suggestion is, don't stay only with fiction: I recall reading "Veck as in Wreck" as a kid. I thought it was pretty good then. (of course, that was 40 years ago.) <br /><br />Money ball is another.Gregg Shields, The Commissionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126116444515992910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1285026999855417119.post-6050839693237074712009-06-05T05:00:31.456-07:002009-06-05T05:00:31.456-07:00I thought The Natural was way too melodramatic.

In case it's not obvious, I prefer reading to watching movies.<br /><br />Bull Durham was OK. I like Major League a lot. Like Sandlot too. <br /><br />Does anyone remember a made for TV movie starring Roy Schieder set in Detroit and having something to do w/ the Tigers?Tom Hagertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07579309471222526625noreply@blogger.com
