Go read books!

[Michael Clair @michaelsclair]

WE SACRIFICE EVERYTHING TO BASEBALL officially comes out this week, so I wanted to highlight a few of the books that inspired me, that I wanted my book to be like (and that I used in my pitch to the publisher), and that were invaluable sources of information.

Go read books!

OK twitter. It’s @MLB #openingday and because of friends and John from @batflips_nerds I’m going to give baseball a chance.

Loved the World Baseball Classic.

But I don’t have a team. There are criteria, but I’ve narrowed it down to to @Orioles and @Mets
