People thinking "well I'm not a Yankee fan so I won't have any interest in this," which is unfortunate because it's not just a good baseball book...it's just a really good piece of journalism period. HBO should snatch up the movie rights for cheap, I'm sure they could turn it into something good. [2] I think the fact that it was kinda a niche subject may have hurt it.

It had EVERYTHING going for it - great reviews, great press, (I think it got the NYTimes book review cover) serial placement, etc., and went nowhere, almost as if, in an odd way, it was above the readership. AS Joaquin Andujar said, "You can sum it all up in one word - youneverknow." As I understand it, the failure of this book to sell was absolutely confounding.
