review 1: This is the first Hayhurst book I've read. Not necessarily what I was expecting, having seen Dirk cover baseball for the Toronto Blue Jays. The story takes you to some darker places of behind the scenes baseball, but nothing too sinister. Closer to high school stupidity more than anything else. Did I love the book? No. But I would recommend it as it does humanize professional athletes in a way that removes the pedestal
review 2: Keith Olbermann, who I sometimes enjoy, says this is "One of the best baseball books ever written." Someone else, I can't remember who, says Hayhurst is the best writer in baseball. I beg to differ. It's not poorly written, but the writing just didn't do it for me. I like baseball, but I'm not a rabid fan. Maybe if, like Olbermann, I w... moreere, it might have made a difference. This was a free book: I received it as a first-reads win, for which I am grateful. Nonetheless, I recommend this book only for the real baseball fan. less
