Title: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION? START ELSEWHERE.
Review: Although this book is written on a fairly obscure topic, if you are looking to gain a better understanding of the National Association, I would suggest you begin elsewhere. Of the 329 pages, 70% of the material is of line-scores and box-scores. I was disappointed with the lack of insight and was left with a regurgitation of numbers. I think the author loses the historical context of the league by writing a book purely on numbers. If you are interested in the National Association, I suggest you start with Daniel Ginsburg&#65533;s The Fix Is In. Scandal and the National Association go hand in hand. Not only do you see how the league functioned, but also why it soon failed. I would also recommend William Ryczek&#65533;s book on the National Association. I found more substance in both cases than with Wright's book. Unless you are a stat fanatic...I would not buy this book.
