From AudioFile:

If you've ever wondered what goes through the mind of a professional baseball player during a game, this tape is for you. Hernandez, retired fielder and batter, analyzes two of his old games. He offers insights into details that might escape the casual fan, including pitch selection, batter weaknesses and managerial strategies. Great stuff for "the advanced fan." Hernandez does a credible job reading his book. His voice is clear and firm, well suited for the subject. He maintains a conversational tone and pace. P.B.J. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
