I enjoyed these anecdotes particularly because so many of such stories seem to be frozen in the 50s or 60s. By contrast, these included many players I remember from "my" era of the late 80s and early 90s.
"Some hilarious, some heartwarming, all the anecdotes will be of interest to fans. Patrick Cullen adeptly conveys the diverse personalities that have shaped the game and woven it into the national fabric, from the fiery temper of Orioles manager Earl Weaver to the good-natured personality of Ken Griffey Jr." � Library Journal

not the greatest collection of stories but a good read
a collection of baseball stories, none I had ever heard before, which is what he promises in the introduction.
There are a couple of really good ones, look up Thurman Munson if you are just perusing the book.

A little dated and not as special as Mike Shannon clearly thinks it is. But a fun quick read to open the season.
