I won this book through a First Reads giveaway. This is a very detailed, interesting look at the history behind baseball items. I found myself saying to my husband, "Did you know..." and "Listen to this..." It was an enjoyable read, especially during baseball season.

Steve Rushin is clever, thoughtful, and understands the game of baseball. That's a good combination in my book and I loved his conversational, humorous documentation of baseball's history.
