Review: Best Baseball Book Ever
Rating: 5 out of 5

I loved, loved, loved this book. I laughed. I cried. As a lifelong baseball fan, and a loyal fan of the San Diego Padres, I found myself  rooting for my team when the boys went to a big league game between the Padres and the Mets. I also want to thank Mr. Carman.When he listed several Hall of Fame players. he listed Tony Gwynn of the Padres first.  Even though he couldn't have known, it seemed only fitting as Tony (aka Mr. Padre) had just passed away from cancer  (June 16, 2014) a few days before I read the book. My son was a Padres bat boy the first three years Tony came to the Bigs and knew Tony well. My grandson is a phenomenal "submariner" who has caught the eye of several scouts. So, thanks Mr. Carman, for writing a book about the best sport in the world and capturing the lingo, the joy, and the disappointments of this great game. You've done baseball proud. Bravo!
