A new biography of Clayton Kershaw, a history of Chavez Ravine, a reevaluation of a Negro League star and more book recommendations for baseball fans.
Good morning and welcome to the L.A. Times Book Club newsletter. I’m novelist and punk historian Jim Ruland, and this week we’re celebrating America’s pastime. We’re currently midway through the MLB season and the Dodgers are sending six players to next week’s All-Star Game — tied for most in all of baseball.

Looking at some of starts in 2013 and 2014, it feels like another lifetime in terms of how bullpens are used and starters are deployed.
