In this rapid-fire review, Jacob Shymanski and Jeff Rainey explore five titles that have an eclectic blend from baseball to politics and biographies. The baseball angle I know you’ve sort of done before but it actually works great for two reasons: Jeff’s rapid-fire picks are: • “Beautiful Scars: Steeltown Secrets, Mohawk Skywalkers and the Road Home” by Tom Wilson • “Pierre Poilievre: A Political Life” by Andrew Lawton • “Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America in the Swinging '70s” by Dan Epstein• “Home Games: Two Baseball Wives Speak Out” by Bobbie Bouton and Nancy Marshall • “The Best Team Money Can Buy: The Los Angeles Dodgers' Wild Struggle to Build a Baseball Powerhouse” by Molly Knight Other books referenced in this episode include: • “Ball Four” by Jim Bouton • “Ripper: The Making of Pierre Poilievre” by Mark Bourrie • “Values: Building a Better World for All” by Mark Carney • “The Franchise: Toronto Blue Jays: A Curated History of the Jays” by Keegan Matheson Audiobook Café is broadcast on AMI-audio in Canada and publishes two new podcast episodes a week on Saturdays and Sundays.Follow Audiobook Café on Instagram @AMIAudiobookCafe We want your feedback!Be that comments, suggestions, hot-takes, audiobook recommendations or reviews of your own… hit us up!
