“Exceptional—a lively, rewarding read.” (Robert W. Creamer, Sports Illustrated writer/editor and author of BABE: The Legend Comes to Life)
“This collection of 20 essays, most of them never before published, is not a New York book, per se, but it brims with lyrical reminiscences about the love affair between the city and the sport...What ties these charming essays together? 'The collection,' Mr. Gutkind writes, represents 'the connective tissue' of the game, from the mitts to the stadiums that collectively constitute 'our common nostalgia for the way it was, and our fervent hope that the sport will endure the way we think it always should be.'
” (New York Times)
