Tara Sullivan wrties:
“The opportunity to read Leavy’s prose about baseball is a gift to an audience already enthralled by her previous masterpieces… The personal touch makes this one different but no less impactful, infused by a love affair with the game that began from her youngest years in her New York City backyard. […] The story of baseball is in the people that make the numbers, not in the numbers alone. Leavy gets it, and her book is a home run. If you love baseball, don’t miss it.”
