Fairly amusing baseball/sex book with some good twists of a phrase. I.E. She had a great back porch and liked to have it occupied. Bell calls a "rosin bag" a "resin bag" and says a pitcher whose team is tied in the top half of the ninth doesn't win if they take the lead in the bottom of the ninth (home team). Strange error for a sports writer.

Underneath all of the sexism, racism, and homophobia is a pretty decent baseball story.
