birthday gift from Claire
The early chapters were much more interesting because baseball was like the wild wild west. Rules changing mid-game, crowds of fans in the outfiled, ballparks burning to the ground, games called so teams could get on trains to go to the next game.... stuff like that doesnt happen anymore.
Thorough, thorough, thorough, with a lot of interesting facts. It's more like an encyclopedia than a diary, with good summaries at each decade and at each year.
I'm glad I read it. Cant believe it took me so long.
