Why We Love Baseball: A History in 50 Moments

I bought the book for my baseball loving sister’s June birthday. After leafing through pages and reading a little here, a little there, I bought a second book as a gift for a dedicated reading friend. He called shortly after getting the book to tell me how delightful and enjoyable he found the book. Poignant and well-written. This book will be my book to give this year. Just ordered a 3rd copy to send as a thank you gift.

Enjoying all the different stories. They bring back great memories.

You can pick this book up anytime and read just a few pages. Very insightful back stories. Really enjoyed it.

Lots of good stories but at least 10 pages were poorly printed (very light print) and hard to read. Specifically they were pages 113, 144, 152, 160, 168, 320, 328, 336, 344,352, and 360.

Author shares stories which I had not heard. Loved the approach to his writing.

This is an absolutely incredible book. Well researched and written it brought back many memories and feelings of the game I had long forgotten. If you are a fan of baseball, you should read this book.

I’m not very familiar with baseball jargon. These little vignettes cleared up some jargon for me !

My man’s religion is baseball and is an encyclopedia of baseball… but he was thrilled with this book and fascinated by this book! It was full of stuff he never knew about!

Bought this for my partner’s son for his birthday. He was thrilled.

Joe has another great book for any serious baseball fan. You will know some of the obvious ones but he brings little bits of extra info gives even the well known an added spice.
