Safe at Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic
AuthorAlyssa Milano
ISBN0061625108
Like Alyssa, I learned about baseball on my fathers knee. His passion for the Red Sox was infectous. I was 7 when Ted Williams hit a home run at his last at bat in the final game of his career.

Bernini
AuthorHoward Hibbard
ISBN0140135987
Another great book by my favorite art historian.
