Historia
Long before the Moneyball Era, the Earl of Baltimore reigned over baseball. History’s feistiest and most colorful manager, Earl Weaver transformed the sport by collecting and analyzing data in visionary ways, ultimately winning more games than anybody else during his time running the Orioles from 1968 to 1982. When Weaver was hired by the Orioles, managers were still seen as coaches and inspirational leaders, more teachers of the game than strategists. Weaver invented new ways of building baseball teams, prioritizing on-base average, elite defense, and strike throwing.

A Complicated Genius Ahead of his Time
Revisado: 04-30-25
Loved everything about this book. The stories, the quotes, the players perspectives and the profile of Weaver himself. You don’t have to be an Orioles fan like me to enjoy this book — it’s for baseball fans everywhere. Earl was a fascinatingly complex figure who truly broke the mold; they truly don’t make Managers like Weaver anymore, but his influence still looms large on the game.

Historia
The number one New York Times best-selling story about American Olympic triumph in Nazi Germany, the inspiration for the PBS documentary The Boys of '36, broadcast to coincide with the 2016 Summer Olympics and the 80th anniversary of the boys' gold medal race. Out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times - the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant.

Historia
Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

I rarely read fiction, but really enjoyed this fun summer read. It made me think about all the little things that happen in life from a new perspective. Also, the narrator does an exceptional job of bringing the material to life.

Historia
"Wine is, above all, about pleasure. Those who make it ponderous make it dull.... If you keep an open mind and take each wine on its own terms, there is a world of magic to discover." So wrote the renowned wine expert Kermit Lynch in the introduction to Adventures on the Wine Route, his ultimate tour of France, especially its wine cellars. The "magic" of wine is Lynch's subject as he takes the listener on a singular journey through the Loire, Bordeaux, the Languedoc, Provence, northern and southern Rhone, and Burgundy.

I loved this book from start to finish. If you are a wine connoisseur or aspiring connoisseur, I consider it to be required reading. The narrator was excellent too. Just make sure that you have your cellar stocked (with French wine) when you start this book because you’ll want to sip on something delicious during the listen. Santé!

Historia
David Falkner, noted author of five previous books about baseball, deftly portrays the rise to stardom of Jackie Robinson, the first African-American to play on a major-league team in baseball’s modern era. As Falkner traces the development of Robinson’s natural skill and tireless dedication, he focuses on the strengths that earned Robinson a unique place on the diamond and in the struggle for civil rights. This compelling biography illuminates a critical intersection of sports and cultural history.

An inspirational life told in an honest way. I found several parallels to the climate of racial tension in America today. This was a really excellent book about an extraordinary person.

If you liked Corkscrew, you’ll certainly like this one as well. Peter Stafford-Bow’s impeccable sense of satire shines in this hilarious sequel. I only hope there is a third! Cheers to you, Felix Hart!

Historia
Now a number-one international best seller, Billion Dollar Whale is "an epic tale of white-collar crime on a global scale" (Publishers Weekly), revealing how a young social climber from Malaysia pulled off one of the biggest heists in history. In 2009, a chubby, mild-mannered graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business named Jho Low set in motion a fraud of unprecedented gall and magnitude—one that would come to symbolize the next great threat to the global financial system.
