This is 100% brain candy. And for what it is, it's fun. For you hyper-critical readers (like me) you'll be rolling your eyes at the redundancy of detail and the syntax issues. But suspending that, it was a pretty good time. Palate cleanser for sure.
Just fantastic. Authoritative, accessible, richly detailed. How can you not be romantic about baseball? Fischman gets it and, here, he's told a deeply human story the way it deserved to be told.
Damnit. Really wanted to love this. Quinn's technical execution wasn't as shabby as others are saying. And suspending disbelief is required. But this one lost me and I hate that it did. The premise was so good.
