Title: A Huge Disappointment
Product review: I usually stay away from baseball books written by non sports people(politicians, college professors, entertainers, etc.), but I grabbed Will's book right off the shelf because it's a new baseball book(naturally!) and his previous book, "Men At Work" was so good. Alas, Will could not keep his political bent from infusing into his writing style, which was way too intellectual, and his feelings about the game(the DH has ruined the tradition of baseball!). At the end I learned 3 things: being a Cubs fan means suffering, the Baltimore Orioles are the greatest franchise in baseball history, and George Steinbrenner is an anathema to the game. Unfortunately, a series of pieces written at various times becomes repetitious and Will often mentions the same thing over and over. It shouldn't be a struggle to read a baseball book and I found myself anticipating the end of this book.
