Reviews
As the author suggests, the romance of baseball is rooted largely in its lore and legends. To further the notion, he offers a succession of anecdotes spanning a variety of topics, including superstitions, practical jokes, travel tales, injuries, off-field transgressions, and salary disputes. A majority are set prior to 1950 and have a definite New England flavor (Cataneo is a Boston sportswriter). They are stories a bat boy might have overheard in a dugout during a lengthy rain delay. Some are not only humorous but insightful as history, while others in their puerility only reinforce the impression of the national pastime as a little boy's game. In all, a marginal choice for subject collections.
