Finished "The Science of Shakespeare: A New Look at the Playwright's Universe" by Dan Falk. An interesting book on the state of scientific knowledge in England in Shakespeare's time.
Currently enjoying "The Glory of Their Times: The Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told by the Men Who Played It" by Lawrence Ritter. I became aware of this book when it was nominated by GA Russell for the July book club. Basically an oral history of baseball covering the first third of the 20th century. Some great anecdotes here, such as Davy Jones talking about Germany Schaefer stealing first base from second base
, and Sam Crawford talking about barnstorming around Nebraska in a farm wagon before he broke into the majors.
Makes me want to watch Ken Burn's "Baseball" again.
