A great book - funny, light, and to be honest, something that surprised me in a very good way. What was personally annoying was that after I read this (during the last month of the 99 season), I wanted to watch Durwood, and then he up and retires during the playoffs (and then died a short time later). Damn. Really wanted to see him after reading his book. Oh well. Check it out, a good light read.
If you ARE a baseball fan. You'll hesitate the next time you "boo" an umpire at a game. (but only for a second or two)
:)reviews: page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5Durwood Merill is baseball's most outrageous umpire and one of the most colorful characters in the game. With over 20 years of laugh-out-loud anecdotes and controversial opinions, he makes the call on managers, life on the diamond, and the players.
