The Death Row All Stars

[Rkiivs]

I just picked up this book, Playing For Time: The Death Row All Stars.

A true story of an amateur baseball team organized by the prison warden in the early 1900's and composed of hardened death row inmates who get stays of execution as long as they play on the prison team and keep winning. Talk about playing the game of your life!

I'll let you know how it is. It should be a fairly quick read at about 100 pages.


Anyone else pick up an interesting baseball book lately? Other baseball reading suggestions welcomed here (except Moneyball, been there done that).

I'd recommend The Numbers Game by Alan Schwarz, for one.

if your wanting to read about another sport besides baseball you can read Harry Potter it has quidditch

Maybe Raphael Furcal can draw some inspiration from this book?

Heh, Furcal. That was pretty humorous.


DK, I'll check that one suggested reading out. It does sound interesting from the Amazon synopsis. Thanks.

Aaww I thought this was gonna be a thread about Snoop Dogg and his boys.

My thoughts exactly as well

Suge would make one helluva DH, don't you think?

No problem.

I read it a couple of weeks ago. I like Schwarz's style, and there's a lot of information to digest in the book.
