I am not much of a baseball fan. And by not much I mean I've been to less than five MLB games and a handful of minor league games. I never watch baseball on TV and I certainly don't listen to it. That being said, this book was interesting, although I don't think I'll ever re-read it or retain any of the knowledge I learned (other than Babe Ruth was a brothel man, who knew?!). Going into this book, I thought it would only be covering the Cardinals and the Yankees and their race for the pennant, but it really included a lot of other info about teams, management, owners, fans, training camps, and the Black leagues. It mostly focused on 1926 but sometimes it went really into depth about a player or owner and then there would be a pretty detailed backstory going back years or even decades. Well written and with a decent amount of photos, this book will appeal to fans of history and baseball.
