Title: not much to it...
Review: I picked up this book about a week ago while shopping at my local bookstore. I was going to buy it without browsing (my standards for baseball books are fairly generous).But I decided to thumb through it; and I'm glad I did. The book is profoundly flawed. It's simply written and lacking substance. It reads like the sportswriting in the NY tabloids- mindless and reliant upon truisms and conventional wisdom- an expanded version of the drek I stridently try to avoid. If you're at all educated in the history, traditions, or science of baseball, read what's available on the internet, or, if old-style writing is more your speed, wait for a "New Yorker" in November. Skip this book.
