I just got a new book!
I'm a long-time supporter of Baseball-Reference and this was a gift sent to all of us by founder Sean Forman. B-R now includes Negro League stats and treats them as equivalent to MLB stats. Oscar Charleston, for example, is now listed among the all-time leaders in slugging percentage, just a tick above Jimmie Foxx and Barry Bonds!
I'll let you know my thoughts when I finish reading.

p.s. You can get the book in paper at the SABR website or as an e-book.
David Laurilia of FanGraphs writes a "Sunday Notes" column that is the best thing on that site. If you need good stuff to read about baseball you should check out his weekend posts. Last week he took a quick look at Buster Posey. We won't get to see Buster play ball again but we can certainly re-visit his career accomplishments. What fortunate fans we were to see him play! Laurilia's January 9th article is titled "Is Buster Posey One of the Best Catchers in MLB History?" and I recommend that you read it. It's short. Laurilia makes his points without a lot of B.S.
