Whether he's explaining what goes through a ballplayer's mind when he faces a fastball in the chapter "My Face Was Crushed by a Bowling Ball Going 90mph", detailing bizarre rituals and superstitions performed by some of baseball's greatest players, or taking us into the locker room to see what transpires in the clubhouse of a Major League team, Kurkjian's tales are at times hilarious, other times horrifying, yet always entertaining.Kurkjian has spoken to some of the greatest ballplayers ever over the years and they have revealed details about themselves and the game they love with a candor that readers won't find anywhere else. Filled with anecdotes and fascinating insight, this is an essential book for baseball fans or anyone curious about America's pastime.

The bible was listed as new (was intended for a gift). It arrived in a thin tatterered & torn plastic bad without bubble wrap or any other protection. The edge of the bible was scraped as a result. The sleeve on the bible was scratched, stained, and bent on the edges and obviously old, as though it was sitting on a shelf unused for a decade or two. Before writing this review, I wrote the seller, but did not receive a response. I would be embarrassed to give this as a gift. Money wasted!
