"A lovely buffet of baseball literature - of which I am a Fan (not as certain about actual baseball yet). I have enjoyed learning the verse that everyone skips when they sing Take Me Out to the Ball Game, reading about Ty Cobb's fighting and Hal Chase's first base glory, about the other national game called killing-the-umpire and other baseball literary adventures. Its nice because each section is short and I can skip around depending on my mood."
"were it not for this book i'd have a phd, but who can solve differential equations when gay talese's nonfiction narrative of joe dimaggio is sitting there unread?"
"Amazing anthology of baseball writing, stretching back to the 19th century -- some great oral histories of old-time players, New Yorker profiles, etc.. I maybe should've waited til the long, cold months of the off-season. But I didn't."
