Seller's Description:
Fine. No dust jacket as issued. TRADE PAPERBACK in fine condition. Short interviews with various people who work in and around baseball: broadcasters, agents, groundskeepers, a few managers, coaches & players. Somewhat uneven, but the best pieces, like Andy Strasberg's recollection of his relationship with Roger Maris, are wonderful and reveal oft-hidden aspects of baseball & its appeal. A rather underrated book. CASEY nominee as the best baseball book of the year. Money back guarantee if not 100% satisfied.
Bryan has a gift for this kind of writing. This book is a collection of interviews with everyone involved in the sport of baseball---managers, scouts, greenskeepers---even the millworkers at the Louisville Slugger factory. I admit to being a mild baseball fan, or more precisely consider it the quintessential American game, but I think this book would have engrossed me even if I were not a fan.
