It was okay - like any collection of stories, fiction or non-fiction...some are great, some are terrible and some are in-between. Most of them here were in-between...

This book was a collection of short stories from across Minor League Baseball. As others have commented, it has some very interesting anecdotes, some very bland stories, and a lot in between. Schultz's recollection of his own stories seemed to carry the most weight for me, as his love for the game of baseball in general shows in those stories.
Baseball fans looking for some quick reads about a variety of different characters will get something out of these stories.

Untold Tales from the Bush Leagues presents a series of different stories from behind the scenes with some minor league baseball broadcasters.
Like any large collection of stories, some are really funny, some are okay, and some are really meh.
If you enjoy baseball, you'll likely find something enjoyable here.

If these were the A stories that made it to the final edit, I dread to think what the ones that didn't make it were like.
