This book is an easy read.

Although I didn't appreciate the book slamming my Yankees, (I'm a life-long Yankees fan) I greatly appreciated the history section. I lived through a number of the events discussed, and I remember things like Curt Flood and the reserve clause, but before reading this book I didn't fully understand the impact of such events. The book did a great job of providing a readable synopsis of a number of elements that shaped baseball as it is today.

The fantasy league section has a little over my head, but I can see how the most hardcore fans would appreciate it. I used to spend countless hours as a youth playing dice baseball, so the video game and simulation section really brought back memories.

I would recommend this book to every baseball fan. It can be read in one sitting, and it's actually kind of hard to put down if you are a true fan of the game.

Could not put this book down!

This book caught my attention immediately and kept it. What I liked most about this book was its variety. I've never cared much for minor league baseball, and I've never even heard of fantasy baseball, but this book did a great job exploring both. I actually understand what a fantasy league is now, and I was convinced that I should see a minor league game next year.

I am a huge baseball history buff, so that section of the book was a real winner for me. This book takes a great look at both the legal and economic timelines of baseball, while at the same time listing some of the sports finer moments on the field. This was a great combination that I haven't found in any other book.

The epilogue also contained some great insight. I share the same opinion as a number of the members of the special focus group that was asked the question: "What will you do if there is no MLB next year?" This question brought to the forefront of my mind the disgust I currently feel toward the competitive imbalance in the game. However, the book as a whole really did as the authors claim, and helped me remember why I truly love the game.

Many baseball fans have great difficulty getting through the months of the year without Major League Baseball. Those same people will be greatly frustrated in the likely event of another MLB work stoppage. This book helps fill the void for baseball fans whenever the game is not around. With the extensive information on minor league and other forms of baseball contained within, it's also quite useful to have around during baseball season.
