Actually tearing up at my desk right now. I remember 8/2/79 vividly. 5 o'clock news, and then front doors of houses slamming open (I think my mother was even sitting on our front porch at the time too) and so many kids living on my block running out into the middle of the street. "Oh, NO! Thurmon Munson died!" "Thurmon Munson died!!!" Sad day in sports...sad day, period. Beautiful story. Actually tearing up at my desk right now.

It's very ambitious and I think it is a success on the author's terms. I didn't really connect with it though I loved the reporting, the stuff about Thurman's old man and his children. The tone of it, though, it's not that it is glib, but I guess it's just not my taste. Still, it's a good read. Yeah, it came highly recommended.

Call me a sucker, but this is good stuff. I guess there was a reason the guy was el capitan. It’s stories like those that have continually fueled my love of baseball.
