[Kathleen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was one of those random ones that in the latest purge moved to the "read it soon or donate it pile" Probably because it still has a sticker from the used store that I bought it at....over 20 years ago.

Baseball fans will enjoy reading the newspaper articles and radio transcripts of great moments in history such as Don Larsen's perfect game, Babe Ruth's perfect game, Kirk Gibson's homerun and about 20 others. A fine read, but it's now heading to the donate pile .
