Very early in the book, the reader begins to really feel like a part of the Asheville Tourists. McGee's ability to describe the stadium, the staff, the team and the various jobs (fun, not fun and downright gross) are loaded with fun details and entertaining reflection. McGee sprinkles some history of minor league baseball and specifically about the Asheville Tourists, but in a wonderfully non-intrusive way that only enriches the book. It's clear how important this job was to McGee because the care and passion taken to describe each person, place and event are from such a special place.
Under all of the stories and all of the colorful characters, McGee is also reminding the world that there truly is magic in minor league baseball and in Asheville in 1994, there was perhaps a little extra. WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS OF BASEBALL is a must read for any baseball fan and I enjoyed it immensely.
