We didn't plan to publish four baseball titles this year... it just worked out that way. We find a good title and decide to publish it. Playing with Enemy and You Can Observe a Lot By Watching released earlier this year and I wrote a little about these last summer. As the 2008 baseball season winds down and heads towards the playoffs, I want to recommend two audiobooks from players who might just keep playing well into October.
The 33-Year Old Rookie is written by Chris Coste, a catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. It was recorded by Chris himself in a studio in Fargo, North Dakota before spring training started in February 2008. Chris wrote his own story and so we liked the idea of him reading his own story.
