Baseball, for me, is boring to watch, but for some reason, I like to read about this game, the players and the fans. This book contained some heartwarming stories. It covered old and new stories. When the author spent some time talking about the price of certain baseball memorabilia, it always flings me into stunned silence when considering the price people put on things they love, even if its just a piece of paper with a picture and some stats on it.
