And props to Knuckles [5] for bringing up Canyonero, which is really the superior metaphor. FWIW, I've been seen games at the new stadium from the nose-bleeds, bleachers, $400 box seats (at preseason prices), and press box, so I've had a full range of experiences there. [8] Awesome, Shaun.

Normally I'd put this on a NOTD thread, but this will have to do for today. I have a Barnes & Noble gift certificate burning a hole in my pocket and I would like to pick up a Babe Ruth biography. Obviously the two definitive ones are the Creamer book and Leigh Montville's one from a few years back. Has anyone read either of these or both? Which one should I go with?
