Summary: Get it together
Review: The subject is indeed fascinating, but the book is sloppily put together. Spelling errors run throughout the text, and a key player in the Phoenix sports scene is misidentified at one point. Those editing mistakes are really inexcusable, and the occasionally holier-than-thou tone of the narrative turned me off at times. If you insist on buying it, wait until it comes out in paperback...it'll be cheaper, and hopefully someone will proofread it in the meantime.

Summary: Not worth the time
Review: This book seems like it was written as an assignment and not as a subject that actually needed to be written about. I'm a HUGE baseball fan and love reading about the business of baseball. Still, I couldn't get myself to care about this one. The writer over dramatized everything in order to make it seem like he actually had a subject. I would not recommend this book to anybody who does not LIVE for Arizona baseball.
