Great to read with the whole family!
We are loving this book, with all the interesting facts, easily laid out throughout the book so that they are digestible for fans of any age. We look forward to sharing with our son in a few years, as we cultivate his love of the game. Adam provides an unbiased view of the history of the game, and touches upon almost all (if not all) of the current MLB teams. It was a delight to read this book while we wait for baseball to return amidst the global pandemic. We will be buying copies for other friends with young children!

Brief Study of Baseball
This was actually a book I had gotten for my husband in mind since I was hoping he would take an interest in reading again, possibly – more hopefully with me. Although the plan didn’t work I have to say that I actually found myself rather enjoying this piece of American sports writing and getting to know a few things I probably wouldn’t have known otherwise. The writing starts off with an introduction explaining how baseball fitted into the author’s life and how he believes that even if you should never have heard of it there may be some elements of the sports that may have infiltrated your life whether it is sayings or hearing the song that is the theme of American baseball. And from there the book gets started into its tackle of the history. Each section of the book starts off with a small blurb giving a bit of information for the upcoming chapter information. From there each page tackles a different subject matter related to the section in whole in small bits and pieces with either stats being explored, true or false questions or Q&As, plus a captioned photo for each time. But what really impressed me with this book is the fact that instead of steering away from more questionable aspects of baseball the book was honest and upfront of the actual history. At the same time it made a salute to the improvised answers that were created by those groups, their contributions and how those left out groups would eventually make their own mark when given an opportunity. As such readers are introduced to the women teams that inspired the movie “A Team of Their Own” and the Negro Leagues as well. I would most definitely recommend this read for those who are fans of sports or baseball in particular, no matter the age. **Please note I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review**
