Perfect I'm Not: Boomer on Beer, Brawls, Backaches, and Baseball - by David Wells, Chris Kreski (Contributor)
David Wells' controversial book is almost ready for delivery. The man they call "Boomer" has made the news again. This time for his ever-so-annoying nightlife habits. A newspaper story from Thursday reports that in Wells' upcoming book, "Perfect I'm Not. Boomer on Beer, Brawls, Backaches and Baseball," the pub-hopping pitcher admits he threw his perfecto while still drunk from the previous night's "Saturday Night Live" cast party. Whatever your opinion is on the controversy or the player, you can bet this book will live up to its advanced billing.

Barry Bonds: Baseball's Superman - by Steven Travers
In his gossipy, easy-to-read tale, Travers a former professional baseball pitcher and former sports columnist for the San Francisco Examiner tries to show that Bonds is greatly misunderstood. Travers tends to write about his own experiences as much as those of Bonds as he explores the sports culture that influences this distinguished slugger. Most libraries should have at least one biography of Bonds on the shelves, and until a more authoritative book come along, this light, entertaining volume will do.

The Catcher Was a Spy : The Mysterious Life of Moe Berg
- by Nicholas Dawidoff
The only Major League ballplayer whose baseball card is on display at the headquarters of the CIA, Moe Berg has the singular distinction of having both a 15-year career as a catcher for such teams as the New York Robins and the Chicago White Sox and that of a spy for the OSS during World War II. Here, Dawidoff provides "a careful and sympathetic biography" (Chicago Sun-Times) of this enigmatic man. Photos

Indian Summer: The Tragic Story of Louis Francis Sockalexis, the First Native American in Major League Baseball
by Brian McDonald (Author) Louis Francis Sockalexis, a full-blooded Maine Penobscot, played but a half-dozen seasons of professional baseball in Cleveland in the late 1890s. His professional statistics are spectacular, but anecdotal on the whole and ultimately too few for McDonald to really elevate "Sock" into baseball's pantheon or that of Native American athlete Jim Thorpe. Still this is rich material, and MacDonald handles what he knows from the records with style and skill, creating a turn-of-the-century baseball story that follows a disturbingly modern tragic arc for minority athletes.

DiMaggio: Setting the Record Straight
by Morris Engelberg, Marv Schneider Much has been written about the great Joe DiMaggio, both fact and fiction. As the man who knew DiMaggio best, his longtime friend, attorney, and business manager Morris Engelberg felt it was time to set the record straight. With additional research and interviews by co-author Marv Schneider, a veteran sportswriter for the Associated Press, DiMaggio: Setting the Record Straight offers an intimate and honest view of a cherished American figure.

The Babe in Red Stockings : An In-Depth Chronicle of Babe Ruth With the Boston Red Sox, 1914-1919
by Kerry Keene - Although certainly not ignored, his beginnings in major league baseball-five plus seasons with the Boston Red Sox tend to be somewhat glossed over. The extent of Ruth's accomplishments on the field with Boston, as his enormous popularity in that period, have never been fully appreciated.
