The best baseball audiobooks of all time

This post was originally published on Audible.com.

Ask any baseball fan and they'll tell you: some of their favorite sounds can only be heard at the ballpark—the smooth, satisfying pop of a catcher’s glove as a pitch hits its mark; the crack of a bat as it tears into a fastball, explosive and hopeful, drawing the crowd to their feet; the distinct bark of vendors peddling popcorn and peanuts; the chants, cheers, and jeers of the crowd, echoing their enthusiasm, disappointment, and scorn.

If you're missing some of those sounds right now and eagerly counting down the days until spring training begins, you're not alone. Baseball is a constant for so many, a calming balm on exhausting days and a source of excitement on otherwise dull ones. Our list below, a roundup of outstanding baseball audiobooks, offers a glimmer of that same ballpark magic with just a few of the greatest stories from our national pastime.
