EASY TO READ STORIES

THIS IS A COLLECTION OF SOME HUMOROUS AND OFF THE WALL STORIES ABOUT SOME OF BASBALL'S BIG NAMES. MOST OF THE PLAYERS COVERED ARE A PAGE OR TWO AND ARE ENTERTAINING. THIS IS NOTHING EARTH MOVING BUT I LIKED IT AND SUGGEST IT FOR ALL BASEBALL FANS. A NICE RAINY DAY FILLER.

Grand Slam! Amazing Book

Tales from the Dugout is a great book. The book has tons of great short stories about the game of baseball. Furthermore, the stories are about former and current players, managers, owners, fans, teams, announcers, and the list could go on. Additionally, the stories range from hilarious to respectful. This makes the book stay exciting throughout its entirety. The variety really adds a lot to the book.
I would really recommend this book if you are a baseball fan or just like a good reading. Tales from the Dugout uses such a great variety of well known people and not well known people. This quality makes sure that you are learning about new people and learning more about players you came to love years ago. Personally, I am devoted baseball fan and love anything about baseball. This book tops all the books I have about baseball. It is truly a great book.
The author, Mike Shannon, displays a great knowledge and understanding of baseball and writing. Shannon writes the stories in a way that pulls you in once you start reading. It is really amazing. When I was reading the book, it felt like I was talking to Shannon in person. Additionally, Shannon picked "The Greatest True Baseball Stories Ever Told." Every single story in Tales from the Dugout leaves with a great last word and makes you want to see what how the next short story will end up.
If you love the game of baseball and like reading about baseball, this book is perfect for you.

This book is about a number of people and things. Some people that it's about are Pete Rose and Ken Griffey Jr. There are broadcasters in the book, one is Joe Nuxhall. There are many other people in the book, too.
Some things that I liked about the book was, there was a collection of short stories. It also had some pictures. There weren't pictures about everything they talked about. If you didn't like one story, it wasn't so bad because the whole book wasn't about that. You could keep going with the book.
Somethings I didn't like was, it had some stories that didn't make sense. Those stories were around five pages long. Other than that I liked the book pretty well.
