Summary: Brilliant!
Comment: This is a wonderful book. It's well written, has a good variety of information and is very attractive in it's presentation, plus it's "accessible" to all types of baseball fans. If you're a glove aficionado (which I am not) perhaps you'll not find all you would hope for here, but that sort of book wouldn't be anywhere near as useful. Oh, and I grew up across the street from Noah Liberman and we played lots of sandlot ball together, although I've not seen him in two decades. Reading his book makes me miss those good old days. I still have the glove I used back then but I have to admit it's got some mildew, and I know that's at least one strike against me.

Summary: Plays The Field
Comment: A well researched, written and needed book on one of baseball's fascinating subjects: the baseball glove. Liberman has touched all the bases and ... fingers on this
equipment topic.
My favorites and I'm sure many readers will find highly interesting, are the interviews with former and current major leaguers, the men who trusted and trust their living with this tool.
It's a fine catch for any baseball fan.

Summary: Glove Affairs - Loved The Book!!
Comment: I must say upfront that I am not a glove collecter, so my perspective may be different from the other gentleman. However I am a true baseball fan. A big part of the enjoyment of baseball when you are young is getting your first baseball glove. For me, it started with an old hand-me -down fom my father - so seeing a lot of the old gloves and pictures of the great baseball stars was enjoyable. The bottom line is that this book lived up to the reason I bought it ... it was FUN to read for me. I am going to give it to my son to read and I think it would be an excellant book for all little league players as well. It is obvious that the author has a real passion for the baseball glove and wrote a book that reflected that. I especially enjoyed the stories, the ideosynchrasies of different professional players and the illustrations. I learned a lot of things about the baseball glove that I did not know. I highly recommend it.
