PERFECT WHILE WAITING FOR SPRING TRAINING

This was the only novel of Steve Kluger's that I hadn't read and I wasn't disappointed. On one hand, it's a little strange to read about a game that's changed so much since the book was written it's practically unrecognizable now. On the other hand, what a delight to read about baseball players you can care about and root for. Big difference from what's in the headlines these days. The romance was so sweet I wish there'd been more of it, but I suppose that given the constraints of 1984, Kluger got away with as much as he could for the times. But the humor hasn't tarnished over 24 years. Sometimes I found myself laughing so hard I had to put the book down just to recharge. After spending almost 300 pages with a fictional team I wound up falling in love with, it will be interesting to see how I feel about today's baseball once spring training starts.

Just in time for the world series

This is one of the funniest books I ever read. Even funnier than the Red Sox dropping a 13 game lead.

A hilarious look at life, love and the curve ball.

Plain and simple. Laugh out loud funny. I finsihed this book so quickly, i went back and literally read it again. Steve Kluger is one of the funniest writers out there. I can't wait to read Last Days of Summer.

A MUST READ IF YOU WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME!

I didn't think I would enjoy reading around baseball, but I loved every moment I spent with this book & I didn't want to say goodbye to any of these characters. Further, I lost count of how many times I scared the cat because I was laughing out loud. Thank you, Mr. Kluger.
