New baseball movie based on book classic
Billy Crystal, who directed "61" a television movie about the great Mantle/Maris race to break Babe Ruth's record, is set to direct again. His next effort will be to direct a baseball movie based on a novel that was inspired by a true story. The book, "A Man on Spikes" was written by Eliot Asinof who also wrote "Eight Men Out".
The book fictionalizes the 17 year journey of a utility ball player who finally makes the majors. I'm excited about it and looking forward to reading the book before the movie.

My first review from Germany
I just happened to check my statistics to see if my sales to Europe had yielded any reviews. I am proud to show my first review from a reader from Germany on Amazon.

This is simply a great book, well written, with a great story.
It seems to be the first book ever written by Mr. Kasselman but it is one I could not put down for long.
I love Baseball and his "what if"-idea outlined in this book was absolutely outstanding.
I am not very familiar with the details of the US-legal system, but he explained each step one-by-one, so even a layman like me was able to follow and understand this case.
There was never any doubt what my personal verdict on this issue would be, but nobody could be sure.
It was also nice, that he included a second, more personal story about the DA Jamie, who seemed to be a nice chap burdened with a task nobody had done before.
Fun to read ! And therefore highly recommended !!!
