I know this is days later but I thought I'd throw in my two cents.
The Best Team Money Can Buy was great.
I also enjoyed The Arm.
The Big Chair by former Dodger GM Ned Colletti was a really interesting look from the perspective of the front office. It's more of a memoir so it starts about Ned's early life as a kid in Chicago. It gave me newfound respect for Colletti.
Currently reading The MVP Machine, which is a great look at player development.
Smart Baseball is a few years old but is a good book about newer stats and why things like RBI, pitcher wins, and stolen bases are pretty bad ways of evaluating players.
If you want more Dodger history from their Brooklyn days, Bums was a fascinating read.
Depends how much effort you want to put into it.
For general baseball knowledge and history:
For Dodgers specific history:
For current news and analysis:
Work and then heading to the diamond for game 1 of my baseball team's championship series
i'm not a big holiday guy, but i do love the big meals that are a part of them
White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America
I'm a fan of plain tart with some fresh raspberries on top
I'm hoping it will be a nice championship series sweep for my team this week.
Late 2 years ago I had just really gotten back into baseball after having paid less attention to it for like a decde and was basically in the same place - so i went to my local library are they had this massive book The Dodgers: 120 Years of Dodgers Baseball. It covers basically everything you'll ever need to know about the dodgers - it even covers teams that aren't "technically" part of brooklyn/Los Angeles dodgers "lineage" like teams which played in brooklyn but left or died or whatever. I'd also recommend True Blue stories(a documentary series on FOX sports about the dodgers), it's not the most unbias history but it's good for what it is. Outside of that wikipedia is your friend, you can find just about anything there.
(EDIT: if you want to be heartbroken read Bums: An Oral History of the Brooklyn Dodgers I teared up at the end and hated Walter O'malley even though he brought the dodgers to the best coast.)
Outside of that i'd recommend watching all 10 innings of ken burns' documentary Baseball. It's on netflix and i'm sure you could find it in shadier ways but it'll give you a real appreciation for the sport and it's history as a whole. Moneyball is also really good, but it's not that applicable to us...because we're the second biggest market in baseball.
Jane Leavy wrote a very good book on Sandy Koufax called Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy that is centered around his perfect game and the history of the pitcher with the Dodgers in the 1960s. If you like her writing, she also wrote a good book on Mickey Mantle.
Okay, class. I insist you read this book if youre a Dodgers fan. Test and group discussion next VVednesday. #2 pencils only. CLOSED BOOK
I'm not evn sure what the lineup is. If Utley is in it, my money is on Dad.
The first time Baseball broke my heart was in 1998 when the Mets, not the fucking Dodgers signed Mike. Fucking. Piazza. No other trade , no signing, etc I dislike more
Mom Brag: My son was accepted into a small selective middle school today because he is fucking awesome. . . AND THE PRINCIPAL IS A DODGERS FAN (which is more exciting when you realize I live in the Bay Area) . I think when we talked about baseball during the parent interview, I nailed it.
Happy Thursday!
Edit: oh shit! AGon is back!!!
This book is pretty hand and the illustrations are neat: Baseball Field Guide: An In-Depth Illustrated Guide to the Complete Rules of Baseball
He wrote a book. Looks like the Ted talk is the tl;dr version, haha

buy this book. read it all. best dodger book ever
Dodgers From Coast to Coast is great too, got it as a present a few years ago.
My understanding is usually the data upon which the matchup is based is so limited that it is essentially useless and therefore you should always just play you best player.
My source is The Book by Tom Tango.
I'm a Cardinals fan but I just ordered this and had it shipped to MadBum. Go Dodgers (today)!
You guys hear they already have Bellinger's biography out?

On the contrary. You can buy Chemistry.
Natural Harvest?
