I'm Fascinated by Sacrifice Flies: Inside the Game… door Tim Kurkjian
NF
This is an entertaining book on baseball full of amusing anecdotes and tales of major league baseball.
It is a fun book to read here and there on a lazy day.
Now, when I first picked it up, I was looking for a book on baseball full of insights only the most knowledgeable of this sport knew, but this book is not quite that. Kurkjian mentions numerous people with that ability, but rather than provide that sort of context, he instead offers well-researched factoids and tales that were not a disappointment.
Kurkjian breaks up chapters in the book to describe different aspects of baseball. For example, one chapter is on the unwritten rules of baseball and another on strikeouts and so on.
It is an enjoyable book.… (meer)

I love watching Kurkjian interviews on TV. He's funny, in love with the game, interesting, knowledgeable. Thought I'd love his book. But, NOOOOOOO. Dull, dull, dull. Nothing but stats and a miscellaneous topic or two. Things that interest him, but not me. Way too many numbers, records by many people who never made a huge contribution to baseball except for a fluke record like striking out X times in Y weeks with 2 guys on base and nobody out. Who cares? Not me.
Filled with hilarious and quirky anecdotes, this book is solid for what it is.
