12. The House That Ruth Built by Robert Weintraub (Little, Brown and Company)
Baseball lovers will be riveted by this untold story of Babe Ruth's Yankees, John McGraw's Giants, and the extraordinary baseball season of 1923. This was the historical year the Yankees played their first season on their own field, the newly-built, state of the art baseball palace in the Bronx called "the Yankee Stadium." In this season, it only took Ruth two at-bats to crack a home run and signal a new era in baseball. Weintraub’s book is a fascinating account of that first home run of 1923 to the storybook World Series matchup that pitted the Yankees against their nemesis, the Giants, and all the events of the singular year that forever changed the sport of baseball.
