review 1: So many positives, and yet so many negatives. If you like baseball and like making fun of the Cubs you will enjoy this book. If you like the Cubs I wouldn't recommend reading this, unless you have a very good sense of humor about the team and your fandom. While this was an enjoyable read, it lost serious points for chapters that are too long, information that detracted from the book rather than added to it, too much discussion of things in the past, and too many descriptions of his father's beer belly.
review 2: Not sure what the other reviews are talking about here - this is a book about baseball and fathers, and how baseball can foster and shape a relationship. It's not about the Cardinals, they just get the majority of the ink here, but a baseball fan wi... morell be able to see their own fandom, no matter the team, reflected in Will's. My dad and I have always bonded over baseball, and I'm not alone in this. Any baseball fan who has a father (which is probably a good percentage) will enjoy this book. Leitch's snarky hipsterness doesn't come through here at all, it's earnest and, at times, even touching. Great book. less
