Summary: Rather disappointing look at the Orioles of the 70s!
Comment: During my childhood I worshipped the Baltimore Orioles and especially Jim Palmer. As I grew older, Palmer lost some of his heroic stature and seemed more arrogant than special. This book provides the finishing touches on his fall from grace. The stories in here often seem mean-spirited and down-right nasty. Earl Weaver is treated as a bumbling, coarse, win-obsessed maniac while Palmer portrays himself as the voice of reason in a very sarcastic tone. Unfortunately, the technique backfires. Instead we begin to feel sympathy for Earl and begin to despise Palmer for his arrogant attitude. I rate this a three only for Oriole fans as there are a few nice stories about those Great Orioles' teams from an insiders point of view
