2010 Reading #44: The Teammates by David Halberstam

Books 1-10.
Books 11-20.

Books 31-40.
41. When Baghdad Ruled the Muslim World: The Rise and Fall of Islam's Greatest Dynasty by Hugh Kennedy.
42. The Suffrage of Elvira by V.S. Naipaul.
43. The Magicians by Lev Grossman.

44. The Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship by David Halberstam. Sort of a companion to Summer of '49, and also a loaner from [livejournal.com profile] janradder. A slim book, mostly anecdotes of the eponymous teammates--Red Sox Ted Williams, Dominic DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, and Bobby Doerr. Not a great deal of substance here, but a good summer book for baseball lovers.
