Has King done a lot of baseball stories? I know he did that one with another author which I think may have been horror, but I don't know.

I was watching him on Seth Meyers and he started to diverge into baseball. I myself am not a fan of baseball, so I tend to be bored by that. I also probably wouldn't like a baseball story.

Yet, I think it would be interesting if King did a novel, novella, TV series, whatever, where Fenway Park has to be quarantined. Something is going on, but maybe no one knows what it is yet. Of course, that kind of set-up might be long in the tooth at this point...maybe it should just be a zombie outbreak from the outset. Then again, has this been done before? Probably someone has self-published this idea somewhere. I think every setting/theme has been combined with zombies at this point. (In fact, someone should release an anthology of Black-Friday-at-the-mall-zombie-outbreak tales, there must be hundreds by now; plus, that should be a videogame.)

How is Blockade Billy? I mean is it good? I don't know much about baseball so would i get anything from it? Tom Gordon was more of a girl being lost in the woods than Baseball but Blockade seems different. What do you think?

...it's good, and you needn't be a baseball fan to glean enjoyment from it...

I agree with Scott, I liked blockade Billy and I know nothing about baseball. It would be worth a read for you kurben, it's only little, mine is 80 pages, and not very big pages either - the rate you read you'd get it read over breakfast.
