Overall a fun read.

Enjoyed this nice quick read. Learned many facts I didn't know. One question. It says the San Diego Chicken was baseballs first mascot. Mr Met of the BY Mets started 10 years earlier. But if it's all around mascot that makes sense.

Good book

It was a very cool book but some of it wasn't up to date. Three fourths of it didn't know.
