This really is a charming book, even if you're not a Tigers fan (and I'm not). Great reading for a business trip because it's a bunch of short chapters that can be read one or several at a sitting. It's well-written, funny, and full of baseball insights that have been borne out in the 20 years since the book was written. It's not one of the 10 greatest baseball books ever, but it's solidly in the next class.
A classic book of baseball memiors from a lifelong fan
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
Art Hill's book is great reading for any fan of the game of baseball. Though focusing on one season of the Detroit Tigers, Mr. Hill shares memories of past seasons, favorite ballplayers, and some of the history of the game which he happened to witness from the unique perspective of the baseball fan. An easy and enjoyable read, Mr. Hill takes us on a trip through his lifelong love affair with the game. Though Mr. Hill spends a great deal of time writing about the Detroit Tigers, he does so without apology, because as he says, "They're my team. That's baseball";a feeling all fans of the game can understand. I highly recommend this book for any baseball fan.
