[Scott Breslove · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good little book about the intertwined lives of four baseball players who played college ball together, and what happened after that. It was a very enjoyable read and I found it very interesting to see how these four guys came into and out of each others lives, and also how connected they were to other ball players, etc. Not a bad read if you are a fan of 90's and early 2000's baseball.
