A home-run time-travel novel

Note: I made some Mormon angry because of my negative reviews of books out to prove the Book of Mormon, and that person has been slamming my reviews.

Your "helpful" vote is greatly appreciated. Thanks

A very short review is not necessarily a bad review. You don't want to re-tell the whole story. I try for the hook that will make a person want to read this book. In my opinion, you should read long reviews after you read the novel. Read a short review first.

I love this novel! A modern man goes back to 1869 and joins the Cincinnati "Red Stockings" baseball team. He falls in love and also introduces many new ideas, including the selling of hotdogs and bunting. He also finds a treasure. A super fun mystery and time-travel story.

Baseball History at Its Best

I don't usually like "fantasy" books, but this one is exceptional. It's sort of like Harry Potter: you suspend disbelief on about page 15, and from there on it's a joyous, rollicking ride! The author did a magnificent job of researching his subject and all the other historical events that he interweaves in his story. The hard part was when I was down to 25 pages or so and knew that it was all going to end. I didn't want it to end! Wonderful book for baseball fans, those who enjoy Mark Twain, and historical buffs.

Just Short Of A Classic

This is a fine book and definitely worth reading. The author doesn't quite have Kinsella's writing skill but his creativity and research are superb. Once I started reading it, I could not put it down.

One of my favorite time travel novels

I love time travel novels and I love baseball; so this is one of my all-time favorite books. I enjoyed reading how baseball was played in its infancy and learned things that I never knew. A great book!

Excellent Book

I loved this book. I could hardly put it down. It provides some excellent history about the first pro baseball team, the Boston Red Stockings and also accurately portrays the way of life immediately following the civil war. The main character is down on his luck, life is just not treating him right. He is a journalist, heavy into drinking when he steps off a train right into 1869. He meets up with some players from the Boston Red Stockings and travels with them. While with the team, he meets the sister of one of the players and falls in love. It is a great story line that is also very believeable. I am now reading the sequel, "Two in the Field" which is also very entertaining.
