I very much enjoyed Joe Peta’s Trading Bases: A Story About Wall Street, Gambling, and Baseball (Not Necessarily in That Order).
The product of a horrible collision between the author and a New York City ambulance (not to mention the global economic crisis), the book sits at the intersection of Sabremetrics, Wall Street and the American past time.
Read reviews from Hardball Times, Kirkus and the New York Review of Books.
I have not checked it out yet, but I am looking forward to following Peta’s blog.
