Why read it?

I know a lot about the history of the game of baseball, and yet Joe took me to exciting games and plays and players I knew nothing about, and he did it in such a clever way that I found myself loving this book. As an author myself, I am rarely surprised by the way a book is written. The way Joe put this book together was just short of genius. His is a rare talent.
Could have been just a simple "top 100 moments" book. It isn't. It evoked emotion and tons of nostalgia!
