Summary: "The Ultimate Baseball Road-Trip: A Five-Tool Player"
Comment: As an avid reader of baseball books, I am often skeptical of new baseball publications. Baseball books can be tediously academic (it is a game after all, Mr. Will) or, in the case of guide books, short on substance. Other works just seem to repeat the stories and cliches I hear every year during rain delays. When I saw "The Ultimate Baseball Road-Trip," I thought it might be another coffee-table book. But it has been a fun, informative read. The book appeals to the historian in me, especially in its efforts to tell about the Negro League and minor league entries in each respective MLB city and in its attempts to document old stadiums. Yet, O'Connell and Pahigian write in a style that is witty and engaging, and wise to the role of trivia in the seamhead's life . I have found myself continually sneaking a quick read at my desk or on the train. (The book is addictive and perfect for summer reading.) Finally, I can recommend this book as a travel guide nearly on par with the "Let's Go" or "Rough Guide" series. I used it on a trip to the Midwest and found it especially useful in less celebrated cities like Milwaukee and St. Louis. It is rare that a book of this type can succeed on so many levels.

Summary: Baseball lovers gotta get this book
Comment: The Ultimate Baseball Road Trip - that's for sure!
Well, I must say this is a book definitely worth reading. The authors lived a dream that many baseball fans could only imagine. Their humorous writing coupled with obvious enthusiasm for baseball and its parks is infectious. I found the book very useful/informative and it would be a necessary companion for future trips to major league cities. Nine parks have already been crossed off my list so I have my work cut out but after reading this book I have the motivation to make it to some of the other stadiums and cities around major league baseball. I'd say the authors went 3-4 with 2 doubles, 3 RBI's and a game winning hit!

Summary: Finally a Baseball Book Written by Fans
Comment: Other than my volume of Total Baseball, this one moves to the spot of honor on my bookshelf and will accompany me in my suitcase when I travel for business. Funny and full of info. I'm really enjoying it. (I usually wait to finish a volume before reviewing, but this one is going to take a while. I've been reading a chapter each night before bed. It's a thick book.) The photos aren't bad either. I particularly like the one of Crazy Tuba Guy in Seattle and Heckling Harry in San Diego.
