Great summer read for baseball fans. Story line about a pitcher that lived most of his life in the minors - with a couple of stints in the "Big Show." The story line is full of inside stuff - what it is like to play in them minors - bus rides, bad food,lousy hotels/motels, fans taunting you, and other such insights. Fun read, but be forwarned, the language is very base and the observations of women is . . . well, about what you would expect from a bunch of single men on the road and "hunting". I would give it 3.5 stars if that were an option.

My brother Tom gave it to me in Boston after he read it. Think I will find a way to get it to Ken Fitch - he will enjoy it as well.
