Title: Spring Training : Baseball's Early Season by Dan Shaughnessy, Stan Grossfeld ISBN: 0618213996 Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Co Pub. Date: 05 February, 2003 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $28.00 |

Summary: Not appropriate for children
Comment: I bought this book for my son and was quite surprised to discover that some of the pictures were inappropriate for an eleven-year old. I'm hardly a prude but I can't understand why a book on this topic would include sexist, suggestive photographs of female fans. I try to teach my son not to view women as sex objects but a handful of pictures in this book have little to do with baseball or spring training and do just that. Shame on the authors, who should know better.

Summary: Spring Training, the glory days of today
Comment: From the minute you open the book, you are not bombarded with a bunch of "pretty pictures," but are brought into a breathtaking and exciting world that we know as baseball. Shaughnessy and Grossfeld show us that baseball is not only about the Red Sox, but it is about the game itself, something that shocked me at first, but then prevented me from putting the book down. The amalgamation of Shaughnessy's writing and the captivating pictures that Grossfeld added make the book amazing. Why spend the money to go to spring training, when you can just pick up the book, and go there for free?

Summary: Short and Sweet
Comment: This is the kind of book a woman like my wife buys for a guy like me because I like baseball so she thought I'd like it. It's okay, full of pretty pictures that [take up] a couple of hours, but there's not much too it. I'd rather be at spring training than read about it. I also think she thought that since it was by Shaughnessy the book would be about the Red Sox, but it's not. Oh well.
