I guess my problem is not wanting to come away with the impression that something I read was a real conversation when it wasn't. I have a feeling that will be in the back of mind throughout, which could be a distraction. [2] Thanks for the suggestion.

If you are a fan of the game read this book. Vaccaro explains the conversations very well and you should not let them detract in any way from a fascinating piece of baseball history. It would be like not going to your favorite Italian restaurant anymore because they use canned tomatoes in making their sauce--which almost all good chefs do for consistency. He can footnote over 90% of the quotes in the book, if you let your pre-judgement and preconceptions of the book prevent you from reading it then you are costing yourself. Great interview Hank!

In question #14, I assume Vaccaro meant Herald Square. Even so, my understanding has always been that Times Square was the place where crowds would flock for World Series info (see http://tinyurl.com/ycghs6h). Sounds like an interesting book, but I have to admit that the made up conversations do bother be some. I was considering picking up a copy, but now I am not so sure.
