It's offseason time and people are crying that there's no baseball, so why not read about baseball. Last year we successfully read one book! together, because nobody really liked the second a lot so we all got lazy and dropped out. Also the first book was really long so I think folks burned out so let's not do that again. UNLESS we decide to read the Connie Mack biography series which is amazing and very very long. I'm going to put together a survey monkey doodad again this year, so get your suggestions in by Saturday. Poll will go up Sunday and close Wednesday. Here's the books left over from the list last year, list can grow bigger if people have new/more suggestions: Wally Yonamine: The Man Who Changed Japanese Baseball Jackie and Campy: The Untold Story of Their Rocky Relationship and the Breaking of Baseball's Color Line Veeck as in Wreck Up, Up and Away Baseball in the Garden of Eden You Gotta Have Wa Dollar Sign On The Muscle A Well Paid Slave A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R.

We read Lords of the Realm which was really good. But it's not a good monthly book club deal because it's really long and not quick to read through.

Here's the link to vote: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RWPRSPR Will close at the end of this work-week. If You Gotta Have Wa is leading I kinda suggest we do the top two books, a ton of us have read it already and it's a really short read. But we'll see.
