Customer Reviews

Great stories wonderfully captured!

This book was a joy to read and brought back many fond memories of some of the most spectacular and wacky plays in the major leagues over the years! Steve's writing style is funny and self-deprecating. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 only because one of the story accounts had an error (page 68) - the Don Zimmer and Perdo Martinez brawl. True the benches cleared in the top of the 4th during thr 2003 ALCS when Pedro was pitching and Karim Garcia (who was on 1st) slid hard into 2nd base on Soriano's hit, but that's not when Zimmer rushed Martinez. It was in the bottom of the 4th when Clemons threw high and tight on Manny that the benches cleared a 2nd time, and Zimmer rushed Pedro. Pedro was in his dugout jacket during the fight, so he clearly wasn't on the mound when the incident occurred. Good book though! I highly recommend it!
