Books & DVDs

Contrary to popular belief, the writers and editors of CodBall do occasionally read books, or at least watch DVDs.  Yes, we watch and listen to a lot of games during the season but we also know how to kill time reading books about baseball and watching baseball movies and documentaries.

You should go to other sites for reviews of popular books and movies.  But if you’re interested in pedestrian reviews of obscure baseball literaria and cinema, this is your site!

One of our better lists of books and DVDs was published some time ago in a holiday gift guide.
