“In the spring training jungle, the line between predator and prey is thin and ever shifting.”
Late last summer, my wife presented me with this book, for my birthday. It was recommended to her by a bookseller at one of the local bookshops. (Our neighborhood, thankfully, still has a few.) I thanked her profusely, noted the title, and set it on one of the great piles of unread books that haunt the house. I figured I’d pick it up come 2019 spring training time and enjoy a little history, a few anecdotes and fun stories, and it would get me in the mood for the looming baseball season.
