If you were much of a boy growing up in the Maspeth section of
Queens in the late 1930s and 1940s, you had the baseball fever. It
seemed contagious, but it struck mostly from within. . . . Often,
in later years, when I was writing a long series of books on the
game, some well-intended philistine would ask to have explained to
him the fascination with baseball. I offered my stock answer: 'If
you have to ask the question, you'll never understand the answer.'
With this small confession Donald Honig begins his charming memoir
of a life devoted to the charms of baseball, including the many
great figures of the game he has known in the past half-century.
Mr. Honig brings to these tales his characteristic intelligence and
wit, a passion for the integrity of the game, and a gift for
creating memorable images from little-known episodes as well as
those never-to-be-forgotten moments in baseball history.
