Customer Reviews

Very informative and in-depth

This was a very easy read for me and I found it very in-depth and behind-the-scenes. Handrinos presents a lot of inside information that even the most die-hard sports fans probably don't know about. What I liked was that it was obvious that he put in a lot of extensive reseach and preperation for the book. Some of the debates are a little overboard and bloated (I really don't care about Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds' OPS+ or the 1927 Yankees Pythagorean winning percentage) but overall the book is fun and easy to read and I definitely recommend it, especially to New York sports fans.
