As the calendar turns to December it is now time to announce the month’s El Libro for Viva El Libros, the Viva El Birdos Book Club. After some consideration I decided to pick The Glory of Their Times: The Story of the Early Days of Baseball Told by the Men Who Played It. It was a close race between this book and Lords of the Realm: The Real History of Baseball, but that book was over 500 pages. I think we can still make it happen, but I would want to split it into two parts.
