A Loyal Fan's Baseball Memories
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Truly readable memoir of a loyal baseball fan. While probably aimed at the male population, I am one female who really enjoyed reading Mayer's "True Confessions of a Skinny-Marink" (his mother's nickname for him). If you enjoy baseball, and especially if you often find your team is out of the running as the season draws to a close, then you should read this book.
Any red-blooded American Male Baseball fan will love it!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
A thrilling overview of a man's life as a perpetually disappointed Dodger's fan. References to great baseball works like The Southpaw and Field of Dreams. If baseball is the "Thinking Man's Game", Baseball and Men's Lives is a "Thinking Man's Book." Highly recommended to anyone who has seen their team struggle, and come in second place one too many times -- and to any guy who once dreamed of the big time, but never crossed the fence!
