I’ve had this on my shelf forever, added after a trip to the Cape where we watched a few games. Finally picked it up for another beach vacation read. It was good but focused much on the era just before or as I was getting into baseball and to be honest at this point is nearly 25 years old. Wish there was a more updated version but it wasn’t bad for what it was.

Great read for anyone interested in Cape Cod baseball. Throws back to a simpler game and small towns!
