A review by amslersf
The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach

3.0

The college kids in this book make a lot of dumb decisions, but it makes sense, since they are in fact still kids in most ways. I probably would have made the decision to love this book 20 years ago, but today, not so much. I thoroughly enjoyed the baseball parts of the book, which are not as prevalent as you might guess. The other chapters were maddeningly engaging but not satisfying. I loved the zen master excerpts on playing shortstop.
