I read, or rather listened, to the book, and can second the recommendation. This is maybe the 'purest' baseball book I have ever encountered, written by an intelligent guy, but an absolute baseball junkie - the type whose first thought, if he learned the world was ending tomorrow, was how to squeeze in the World Series before the finish.
I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

LOL GR. I remember a cousin and I involved deeply in the ‘59 three way race between the G’s, the Dodgers and the Braves. There was that other race between us and the Soviets. One day he said, “If we are going to bomb each other I hope they wait until November.”
