Interstate '85

I just want to preface that I am not the intended audience for this book. The only sports I watch are football and some basketball. My state does not have a professional baseball team (let alone two!). I was also born in 1988 and completely missed this World Series. This book was so utterly foreign and boring to me. The first half of the book I had trouble remember which players belonged to which teams, the play by play commentary went largely over my head. I did appreciate that this book profiled not just players, coaches, and owners, but every day fans as well. I do think it's cool that two teams from the same state got to play each other in the world series (especially since Missouri is a Midwest state) but this book lasted too long for me, a mere plebe. This book would definitely appeal to the die hard baseball fan, and sadly that is not me. I appreciate the amount of research and depth that the author covered, the play by plays and commentary from the media alone probably took ages. I also love that there are loads of pictures. This book will be vastly more appreciated by ball players, but I respect the research and writing style (sorry I was bored by the content!).
