I really liked this book. It started a little slowly and then it would pick up and then slow down a bit...about a quarter of the way into it I was hooked. I couldn't put it down and cannot wait to read the 2nd book and see what happens!

If you've never heard of the Onion, you should get into it if you care about the laughter of children. It is a weekly free publication in several major cities. www.theonion.com.

Koppett's Concise History of Major League Baseball is a sweeping survey of our National Pastime. Leonard Koppett takes the reader from baseball's disputed origins all the way to free agency. Reading through this 500+ page book (and they're big pages, trust me) puts all of problems of today's game - rules changes, free agency, threats of strikes, steriods, etc. - in true perspective. I highly recommend it to anyone who considers himself or herself a fan of the game, but a word of warning - don't try to bite it all off in one weekend. Koppett's Concise History is best taken in bits and pieces.
