left_coast_justin's review against another edition
3.0
The author knows her baseball, so I'm already inclined to admire her (while trying to ignore the fact that she's a Dodgers fan. In San Francisco, where I attend games, vendors sell softshell crab sandwiches and vegetarian stir fry. And garlic fries. LA fans have to make do with 'Dodger Dogs,' which are apparently sun-dried, salt-cured goat rectums* ground into tubes and served on stale Wonder Bread buns with goopy ketchup.)
If you aren't interested in baseball, or about a story of a talented woman trying to dominate in a man's game, this book will likely not interest you. Oh, but the descriptions of the Dominican Republic are worth reading, and there's some interesting family dynamic stuff in there. And let's not forget that she's a crackerjack author and highly skilled storyteller.
*Stole this line from the late Anthony Bourdain. Credit where it's due.
