Fornoff's third pick: "The baseball book that I thought was a little miracle was a little known novel called 'If I Never Get Back' by Darryl Brock. Though I don't think most people have heard of this book, which was first printed back in 1989, I just looked at the Amazon reviews and see it averages five stars from reviewers. The protagonist is a sportswriter from San Francisco who time-travels back to 1869 to witness the greatness of the Cincinnati Red Stockings. I could not put that book down, and I probably especially enjoyed the parts that might put off the non-fan, the game accounts. It was quite whimsical, quite fun, and quite clever.
