Title: Readable and unique, but not without caveats
Product review: The book should come with a large disclaimer: A GREAT DEAL OF THE MATERIAL IN THIS BOOK WAS ALREADY PUBLISHED IN WILL'S PREVIOUS BOOK, MEN AT WORK. I would estimate 40-60% in fact. In addition, Will apparently still only knows how to write two kinds of sentences, one of them so laden with commas that one would have enough time to engage in foreplay during all the pauses. Is this is what Will was doing while writing it? Still, the book is still worth reading since few others are writing so intelligently about the game. And it is interesting to see all in one book this supposed conservative's attitudes change toward things like the Designated Hitter rule, Ted Williams and free agency. San Francisco readers will especially appreciate the tribute to broadcaster Jon Miller, even if the facts it recounts differ somewhat from those in Miller's own excellent and much more readable book, CONFESSIONS OF A BASEBALL PURIST.
