Reviews
"In a compendium that is vastly more than the collection of interviews its subtitle implies, Stewart unearths precious nuggets even seasoned fans might never have found... A surprise winner."
"[T]he author aptly captures the romance of baseball by exploring the many reasons why fans are attached to the sport... Every baseball fan likely remembers their first visit to a professional ballpark and the way that the atmosphere stayed with them. Stewart's book does a wonderful job of reminding readers of that sensation."
