Set your Reading Line-up as Baseball Season Opens! Who's leading off?

Batting orders (& prices) vary according to your roster (reading tastes & budget).

Here are a few suggestions for starters selected from the 99 or so books I currently have available.

Potential book report topics might occur – note that many of these are vintage not recent!
