Jacoby’s brilliant book, and now I’m determined to take in the next
Mets game."—Louis Begley, author of Why the Dreyfus Affair
Matters
"Well-informed, rich in historical information, and lucidly argued,
Susan Jacoby analyzes contemporary baseball which, despite the loss
of younger, distracted fans and the shrinkage of African-American

to reawaken loyalty and passion among a new generation of
fans."—Murray Polner, author of Branch Rickey: A Biography
