A real quick read and not too bad. I didn't realize it was from a writer of the Post, and from what I hear, they are kind of the tabloid of all NY papers. The writer includes himself and his brother (I guess?) in the story at the start, which is kind of weird for a reporter, but oh well.
Really did take me back to the summer of 1998 though. The book moves fast though and I was kind of shocked to see how slow King went through parts of the year and then talked about the World Series in five pages and didn't even mention Mark Langston's controversial strike pitch that was called a ball right before Tino Martinez hit a grandslam. The writer kind of comes off as homer, but I guess that may be expected with a beat writer. I recommend this book to Yankee fans, baseball fans can probably do better, and Padre fans should avoid like the plaque.
