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.
