review 1: One strength of this book lies in giving the reader a window into living and striving in a rundown and dangerous city. Having baseball be one central theme is a bonus. But the best reason to read this book, in my opinion, is to witness so many people keep hoping for better days despite getting hit with disappointments and letdowns on a regular basis. There is no "happily ever after" here, but there is life.
review 2: I'd love to see a follow-up story online checking in on Rodney Mason and other graduates of the Newark Eagles. Mr. Schuppe gave us a little more insight into how Cory Booker is as an executive. A great story of the regular struggles of urban living and the choices young people in these settings have to make on an almost hourly basis and how ... moreeasily they can be led astray. Well done Mr. Schuppe! less
