Helpful Score: 1

I laughed and I cried. I fell in love with the characters and felt like I knew them personally. The summary for the book is misleading. You really don't need to know anything about baseball to genuinely enjoy the book. After I read "Almost Like Being in Love" by Steve Kluger (which I also highly recommend) I looked online to find anything he had written. I shied away from this one because I have zero interest in the game of baseball. This is not a narrative like you expect to see in most novels. You get to know the characters and the story is built around letters and notes sent back and forth. It works.
