Description: Here are the recollections of forty-five baseball fansordinary people who have had baseball as a part of their lives for as long as they can remember. From age seventeen to ninety-four, from Elizabeth, New Jersey, to Raytown, Missouri, to Seattle, Washington, their stories create as unique a portrait of baseball as you can imagine.

Here is a blind technician who thrilled to the sound of Bob Murphy calling the Mets; a Cuban-American who reveled in his Mickey Mantle scrap-books; a nun who went to the Texas Rangers' fantasy camp; a Japanese-American who played ball in detainment camps during World War II. Completely entertaining, poignant, surprising, evocative, opinionated, these reminiscences are the truest form of baseball history - of America's history -that we could ever hope to read.
