Kevin Baker is one of America's premier historians as well as one of our finest writers. He delights in language, and it shows in every sentence. Here, he combines the history of the greatest city in the world with the history of baseball. This is a perfectly researched, wonderfully written, thoroughly entertaining book that should be read by all.
It's about baseball--from the early days until now and baseball's association with NYC. The characters and history were fascinating and often hilarious.
