Title: A for content; D- on style
Review: Field of Screams provides a number of interesting anecdotes about the dark side of baseball. Unless you enjoy being patronized, though, you probably won't like it. The author assumes you've heard none of these stories and comes off as thinking he's superior because HE has. He also thinks he's better than you because you, poor fool, believe there's some romance to baseball. Fear not; Richard Scheinin is here to enlighten you.I've tried to read it three times and put in down in disgust after ten minutes or so each time. If you want a good look at the steamy side of baseball from someone who doesn't come off thinking he's better than you, try Dan Gutman's Baseball Babylon instead.
