Review
"One of our more melodious sportswriters ... Deford is in command of this story, as much a piece of social as of sporting history, Characters are made real. ... Deford writes with a cunning sparkle in his eye. ... It's Deford's reach of baseball knowledge, its color and historical circumstance--all the minutiae that pile up into a grand and recognizable edifice--that sets this one apart."
