Don 't disappoint Dad. Please, let's pull the plug, finally and forever and for good, on books like this. Just because one is a "celebrity" or expert in one field doesn't mean they have much of value to say about a subject, something this book proves over and over again with thoroughly unmemorable passages written by the most annoying talking heads one can imagine. Most essays reveal more ignorance than real insight, and the treacly predominates. Interesting as a document of why people should never write about a subject outside of their area of expertise, but otherwise one of the more forgettable compilations of writing on baseball ever put together.
