Review:
Anyone who has even a passing
interest in baseball will have a story or two or ten to tell about the
game. From a simple question to his
family, Eric C. Gray has taken that question and developed it into a wonderful
collection of baseball stories gathered from people across the world in this
book.
A vast majority of the stories are a
joy to read. Not all, but most – as is the case for any type of collection like
this, there will be some stories that readers may not enjoy and that was the
case for me. As for the good-to-excellent
pieces, some are funny, some are tear-jerkers, some are proud moments of
accomplishment, and some involve love at the ballpark. Not only are the stories varied in their
themes and interests, so are the contributors as Gray received stories from all
over the globe for inclusion in the book.
Written by fans for fans, this
excellent collection of baseball stories is sure to have something for everyone. Because it is a collection, the book can be
digested in whatever manner a reader wishes.
It can be read for a short time, picked up later and continued or a
reader can read through the stories in one sitting. No matter how someone reads
it, “Bases to Bleachers” is sure to be a hit with any baseball fan.
I wish to thank Mr. Gray for
providing a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
