The Greatest Show on Dirt
" The Greatest Show on Dirt is funny, fast-paced, and peopled with likable characters in a believable minor-league setting. In other manna for fans of sports fiction." -JOSEPH WALLACE, author of Diamond Ruby Set in the same beloved old stadium where Bull Durham was filmed, The Greatest Show on Dirt provides a look at baseball from a different angle. Players come and go, but there would be no games without a front office to sell the tickets, groom the field, and open the gates to let the fans in. A former Bulls employee who later spent six years covering the minor leagues for Baseball America , James Bailey has crafted a realistic, yet often hilarious, account of a young man's indoctrination into life in the bush leagues. "[I]t's not just believable, but is easy to imagine as being the starting point for a movie script--even with Bull Durham already a classic. Bailey doesn't use baseball locker-talk for shock value, but keeps the reader moving at the right pace, fully locked and loaded, trying to figure out how this crumbling old minor-league park will somehow expose the secret to life for at least one person who feels disconnected, but is willing to listen to see if it's speaking his language." - Los Angeles Daily News

That doesn’t really tell the whole story, though, does it? If you took the trouble to come to this page, maybe you want to know more. (Maybe you don’t, in which case, feel free to keep on moving.) Here goes …
I grew up in Seattle, spent nearly 10 years in North Carolina, and have lived in Rochester, N.Y., since 2001. Graduated from North Carolina State University in 1993. While in school I worked for the Bulls for three years and started at Baseball America as an intern. That blossomed into a full-time position when I graduated, and I worked for BA for six years total in two separate stints (three if you count the summer I spent filing photos and cutting clippings out of newspapers, back before the age of the internet).
In between BA tours of duty, I returned to Seattle for three years, where I temped (full-time for 2 1/2 years solid) at Microsoft and coached 13-year-olds in Little League for three seasons. Our second team finished second in the state, one win away from winning the tournament and qualifying for regionals in Montana. It was during these years that I began to write fiction, pumping out the first draft of a truly horrible novel, which I am embarrassed to read now.
I began working on The Greatest Show on Dirt in 2006. It morphed quite a bit through several major revisions since then, finally setting in its current state four years later. (My son was born in 2009, which did interrupt progress for a bit.)
My second novel, Nine Bucks a Pound, was released in February 2014. This is also a baseball novel, about an overlooked minor leaguer who breaks through after succumbing to the lure of steroids and must later deal with the consequences when his secret is exposed.
I released my third novel, Sorry I Wasn't What You Needed, in May 2015. It has nothing whatsoever to do with baseball.
James Bailey worked for the Durham Bulls for three seasons, from 1990-92. He later spent six years covering minor league baseball for Baseball America magazine. He reviews books for Baseball America, and is an annual contributor to Lindy’s Fantasy Baseball magazine. He lives in Rochester, N.Y., with his wife Jill and son Grant.

March 13, 2012It wouldn't be appropriate for me to review my own book, but I'd like to add something here to help people decide if this is something they might be interested in, so I'll include a few paragraphs about the project from my Acknowledgements. I hope this is useful to potential readers:
I had the privilege to work for the Durham Bulls for three years when I was in college, back in the early 1990s. Minor league baseball was different then. The boom that has swept the nation, gentrifying small towns with miniature versions of major league stadiums, hadn’t yet occurred. Most teams were still owned by individuals instead of corporations, and life at the ballpark was certainly less formal than it is today, when many team employees look as though they just stepped away from their desk at an investment brokerage. Sure, the pay was lousy and the hours were long, but that was part of the bargain if you wanted to spend your days in a ballpark.
I set this story in old Durham Athletic Park, because to me it is the essence of what the minor leagues are all about. Several years ago, I stopped in to see the DAP on a visit to Durham and
was saddened to find it in such a state of disrepair. Fortunately, over the past couple of years it has been fully refurbished and is once again regularly used for games, including one "heritage"
contest each season by the Bulls.
In peopling The Greatest Show on Dirt, I borrowed some attributes from some of the larger than life characters I met while working for the Bulls and later while covering the minors for Baseball America. Rest assured, however, this is a work of fiction. While I strove to realistically reflect life of that era in the minor leagues, this is not a thinly disguised memoir.

I think you probably really need to like baseball to like this novel. As the plot is rather thin, the characters two-dimensional, and the writing very simplistic (though not poor), if you are looking for a great novel about a recent college graduate finding himself or an epic love story, you should go elsewhere. However, if you really don't care about any of that, but love baseball, especially the minor leagues, and want a look behind the organizational scenes or solid depictions of the game, you will find something interesting here.

I loved this book! I really identified with the main character, I loved the baseball banter throughout, and although my minor league baseball experience is limited to attending two games (Des Moines and Altoona) it felt so real. The writing lent to a great experience and hard to put down. It has inspired to take my daughter to a Colorado Sky Sox game on August 12th (we had decided on baseball for the day) as it commemorates the anniversary of me adopting her. Never caught a Sky Sox game, and I will now appreciate the staff more fully, even if things aren't quite ran the same today as they were in the time the book is about. A strong recommend for all baseball fans and anyone who likes a good story!

The Greatest Show on Dirt is a very entertaining, well written story, that is set with a baseball premise, but is really more about life. The characters are well written and developed, making you actually care what happens to them as you read. Many a time I have read a book with poorly developed characters, and it loses the reader very quickly, luckily you can't say that about this book.
Mr. Bailey also seamlessly intertwines multiple plot lines which blend together making for a very interesting read. I didn't know what to expect when I picked this book up, but im very glad I did, now I'm just waiting for the sequel.

Great, quick read especially for baseball fanatics. The story is focused around the Durham Bulls minor league baseball team, and a young college graduate trying to find his way in life. There are a lot of parallels to my life as a young twenty-something.
Happy summer reading, Mr. Moyer

Loved it! Pure minor league baseball nostalgia! Made me want to go back to my 20s and work for the Bulls or some other minor league team, especially given the current COVID-19 mess.

Full disclosure, I received a copy of The Greatest Show on Dirt as the result of winning a Goodreads First Reads drawing. Additionally I have traded several emails with the book's author, James Bailey.
Bailey's debut effort is set in the early 1990s at Durham Athletic Park, home of the Durham Bulls, and stars Lane Hamilton as the story's protagonist. Hamilton is a young man who has been out of college for probably a year or two and is working at a local bank, but it does not take long for him to find himself in the employ of the Bulls.
With the Bulls, Lane is introduced to colorful characters who are part of both the full-time and seasonal staff for the team, and these interactions drive the majority of the action. This is not a book heavy on game action and details, but rather follows what goes on behind the scenes with the overworked and underpaid employees of minor league baseball teams.
Bailey worked for the Bulls for a time in the approximate time period that the book is set, but swears that he is not Lane Hamilton and this is not a roman a clef. Even so, the author's experience in minor league baseball gives the book an authentic feel and lacks any of the transparently obvious foibles that can befall an author of a sports novel if they aren't acquainted with how these sports really function.
Personally, if it's a novel or a movie or a TV show, for me to really enjoy it there has to be at least one character that I really like, and in my opinion one of the strengths of the book is the development of several characters that were either very likable or very easy to hate. I hold an affinity for Lane because of similar work experiences, and aside from him one of the team's interns is impossible to dislike.
I think another strength of the book is that Bailey keeps the action moving in the right direction and at the end of virtually every chapter you want to plow forward and find out what happens next.
If I had to offer a criticism, I would suggest that one or two more characters could have been developed more, potentially among Lane's core group of friends or other Bulls employees. I felt that we got to know a few characters very well, but didn't get to know some of the others as well as we could have. There is a large ensemble cast, and some people float in and out without us having the chance to know them as well as we might wish. This is a relatively minor point, however, as most of the action involves Lane at least peripherally.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book and would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a realistic piece of sports fiction.

In the first paragraph of The Greatest Show On Dirt, narrator Lane Hamilton recalls a bit of advice from one of his college professors: One day we’d each wake up and realize we hated our lives, and this knowledge will set us free.
Though not long out of college, Lane already has his moment of realization, while in the john at work. When he oversleeps and misses an important meeting the next morning, his overbearing boss sends him packing. So Lane’s free from his hated bank job; unfortunately, he still has to escape from his catty, controlling girlfriend Trina.
Lane soon catches on with the Durham Bulls, where his best friend works on the grounds crew. The money is less than his bank job, but so is the stress. He quickly settles in to the daily life of minor league baseball—and so does the reader. Lane introduces us to all the colorful characters that populate this world, both team employees and players. We really get a sense of what goes on on a daily basis, the hard work and the camaraderie that develops (Bailey worked for the Bulls for three seasons, so he’s writing from experience).
The odd and often long hours of a baseball season that Lane works doesn’t sit well with the needy, insecure Trina. In fact, it exposes the frailness of their relationship. Plus, you know, no one really likes Trina anyway. We get to see the disintegration of the relationship as Lane finally faces some hard facts. Just as Lane has improved the health of his professional life, a summer romance with someone new may just improve the personal side of his life.
Lane is a good, likable narrator, a character the reader likes and roots for. Bailey is an excellent writer, and keeps up a good pace and really drops the reader into another world. If I had one problem with the novel, it’s that there wasn’t any real overall conflict that drove the baseball narrative of the story. What was at risk? Were the Bulls fighting for a pennant? Something needed to be at stake—the pennant, the team’s affiliation with the Atlanta Braves, the Bull’s financial survival and very existence maybe. The subplot of the Trina story is well done and has the needed conflict that really makes those parts pop.
Overall, The Greatest Show On Dirt is a fun, engaging baseball novel.
Note: I received a free copy of this novel through the Goodreads Giveaways program.

Set in the same place that captivated America in the movie Bull Durham this novel takes a small town broker and baseball fan, Lane Hamilton and whisks him away into a job with the AA team Durham Bulls. The pay is less than he had, the hours are longer, and his girlfriend doesn’t quite understand, but he soon finds out that working for $1,000 a month doing something you’re passionate about is worth a whole lot more than living a life you hate.
This is a very human story, there isn’t going to be a gigantic, earth shattering mystery that spans thousands of years, you aren’t going to have a body count that’s as high as you can count, but you will get a great connection to each of the characters. This book isn’t about the game of baseball per-sey, it’s about those that make it happen. The grounds crew, the concession people, the ticket takers and merchandising folks. If you’e never been to a minor league baseball game you’ll find out that it’s much different than a major league game. It’s much more personal and most minor league games, especially below the AAA level strive to make it a family affair.
While you have your bouts of mystery and intrigue, what really pops is the intricacies in which James Bailey portrays his characters. Lane Hamilton develops and matures throughout the book in such a way that he’s not the same person has he was when the book started. He’s not all that different, remaining true to himself, but he’s changed, and he’s become a better person through all the trials and tribulations and relationships that he’s built.
The Bottom Line: If you’re a baseball fan, you’re gonna love the small town nostalgia. If you’re not a baseball fan, you’re going to love the relationships that build, the conflict between them, and how perfectly James Bailey resolves the various plotlines. By the time you get to the end you root for relationships, hope for returns next seasons and leave with a smile and even better memories.

I'm really of two minds about this book...
Taken as a whole and not considering anything but the technical realm of the book it was average. The author mentions in articles that the characters are amalgamations of people he knows and it really shows. The main character Lane is a guy everyone knows. Generally a good guy, has a core group of friends, doesn't intentionally step on anyones toes but doesn't necessarily "want" anything out life than to just have his life.
The problem this presents is that there is no growth. I don't feel anything for the character because I know everything is going to turn out alright for him. Even when things aren't going his way, there is no sense of urgency.
The same goes for the rest of the cast of characters. You have the same emotional connection with them as you would someone you knew in high school and are now Facebook friends. The writing isn't anything special, nor is it necessarily bad. It presents its story without fluff and with a little bit of cadence and you drift along with it until the book ends.
Yet, after saying all of that I really, really enjoyed the book. I hung out at a minor league ballpark as a kid, not in any official capacity just an autograph hound, so it resonated with me. Bailey captures the unique setting and makes you mildly care about these generic characters. It made me desperately miss those stadiums that had character and life and weren't stuffy corporate band boxes like they are today.
I think that even if you didn't have this background or if you weren't wild about baseball you still should be able to enjoy the book. It's a nice reminder of the past.

Waffling between 3 and 4 stars. A very solid read that gets predictable and cliche at times, but also keeps the story moving with characters that are interesting and relatable.
Lane is a recent college grad working at an unfulfilling job at a bank, with a hot girlfriend he isn't really sure he likes. He loses the job at the bank pretty quickly and gets a job working with the Durham Bulls for the summer. The story basically follows a season in the minor leagues. It gives you a really good look at life in the minor leagues - what it's really like to work for pennies and the love of the game (or something like that). There's a bit of romance and a bit of mystery, and all the stories do come together at the end to wrap things up neatly. The characters that Lane meets along the way really bring the story to life.
The writing is enjoyable, and if you're looking for something light and quick, you could bump it up to 4 stars. But there isn't a ton of action and things tend to drag a little bit in the middle (as the minor league season does, I"m sure).

The more I thought about this book the more I appreciated it's authenticity. While I never worked for a minor league club, I went to plenty of games. The novel gives what I perceive to be an accurate portrayal of life in the minors in the 90's via fictitious characters that remind you of your days right out of college. This is more of a story about what life is like for the support staff than it is about the players, but the characters are likeable, and there is even a romantic bent that is satisfying. It is written skillfully and is worth your time.Oh to be young again and hang out with friends at the ball park! 3.5 stars

Thank you to NetGalley and Patchwork Press -Cooperative for a free download of The Greatest Show on Dirt by James Bailey.
The Greatest Show on Dirt is a novel cast with quirky and fun characters. It is set in Durham, NC, at the minor league Bulls stadium. Mr. Bailey gives us a little mystery, a little love interest, a little music, and a lot of baseball. This is a great summer read. I'm recommending this one to all my baseball-fan reader friends.

A fun read about a side of baseball the average person generally doesn't have access to. If it had any faults then I might say it lacked a firm enough structure, but then again maybe it benefited from that same lack.

Would be a great read to coincide with the start of spring training. Enjoyed it enough to buy authors second book. Very realistic portrayal of the business of minor league ball. Also a good portrayal of young man transitioning into responsibilities of business world after college.

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.
A great look into minor league life. As a HUGE baseball fan this was a grand slam of a read. I enjoyed every page of this book and the characters were endearing. The writer shows his unique style in grand fashion.

I got about a quarter of the way through this book and the writing was so stale and unoriginal that I couldn't get through another page. It seemed like the writer tried to stuff every baseball cliche into the book and the end result was like reading a bad baseball TV drama.
March 14, 2012
I was born and bred in Durham, NC. So it was great finding a local book centered around the Bulls. I really enjoyed it.
May 23, 2012
Great summer book. Liked the characters, I really liked Spanky. There is nothing like rooting for your hometown team.

Made me want to be back in my 20's working for a minor league team. :)
