Summary: A lightweight but charming look at spring training
Comment: In 1987, the author made a trip to spring training to find out if all the myths about charming little towns and ballplayers everywhere were true. In Bradenton with the Pittsburgh Pirates, they were. Zinnser interviews players (Barry Bonds, Bobby Bonilla), coaches, umpires, and Edd Roush, the "oldest living hall of famer" with a fan's enthusiasm for everything about the game. It would be an especially fun book for a Pirate's fan, but any lover of the game can imagine him or herself asking the same questions the author does, as he ambles from scouts to pitching coaches to the boosters who rent the seat cushions in homey old McKechnie Park.

By the way, I review this and pretty much all baseball books I read at my enthusiast's web site "Why I Like Baseball" at http://www.ceciliatan.com/baseball.html
