The book is a series of anecdotes contextualized around a framework of the ballpark itself. It explores the game in the clubhouse, in the dugout, between the foul lines, and at meetings on the mound and elsewhere. Garagiola's inside view is not cluttered with a lot of philosophical nonsense or political theater. It just gives us a peek at America's pass time from a man who loves the game and played, and viewed it at it's highest levels. The bonus is that it's laugh out loud funny.
