Link Du Jour: Top 10 Sports Books

So this brings about a question.
Why is it that I always seem to miss great sports books for kids?
Thankfully, Booklist is willing to help me out with their recently-released Top 10 Sports Books for Youth. I’ve heard of a few (Black Jack: The Ballad of Jack Johnson, The Cardturner) but there’s a bunch here that completely flew under my radar. Glad to see folks out there giving the best books the attention they deserve.
