"Tim McCarver writing style is much like his like he announcing style: intelligent, well-informed and almost incomprehensible. Reading this book, I could almost smell the flopsweat from Danny Peary, who must have labored mightily to hammer McCarver's mindgrape squeezings into a halfway comprehensible publications. And, frankly, it was only halfway comprehensible. I had to read this book twice in a row, back to back, to get any information out of it. I did gain a lot of insight into baseball, but I worked for it.
The book jacket says that this book would appeal to expert or beginning fans of the game. Do not be fooled. A beginner would find this book an exercise in frustration. As for the rest of us, read a little before bed every night, and you'll fall asleep in no time (although, you may find yourself having Bob Gibson nightmares--completely normal)."
"Changed the way I, a life long baseball fan, watch a game. A great guide for any person attempting to understand America's Game. It also demonstartes on why catchers make great big league managers."
"First off, most of us can agree that Tim McCarver is a big doofus on TV. Surprisingly, Baseball for Brain Surgeons is well organized, interesting, and insightful-- all in all a terrific book. Apparently Danny Peary was able to translate McCarver's verbal diarrhea into a cohesive look at inside baseball."
