Book Reviews of Tales from the Ballpark
Book Review: Baseballs best tales from the ballpark
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is about a bunch of stories of famous baseball players. Most of the players in this book tell about there memories during their careers, and how they felt about their memories. It also goes over what they did in their career. This book contains a lot of stories about a bunch of different people, but most of the stories are short. There was one story in the book where they talk about baseball players that are on very rare trade cards and how much they cost, it also had where to buy them at back when they first came out. This book doesn't just talk about trading cards it also talks about the players problems that they had during their season.
In this book I liked the fact that there was a whole bunch of stories and not just one story concerning on one idea. I like this idea because some stories that I choose to read are very boring and it is hard for me to find a book with a story I like. I didn't like that there were stories that were starting to get a little bit longer then usual because I couldn't keep my mind focused on it and still remember what I was reading. I did like it when other players played antics on rookies because they did some very funny antics. I didn't like it when the narrator would criticize the players because the baseball players worked at this sport very hard to get where they are at now.
I am giving this book three stars because it was very funny and it kept me reading, it didn't bore me like most books do. If you are a die hard baseball fan that likes learning about baseball players or just don't know much about the players and want to learn more about them then I would definitely recommend this book to you. Especially if you liked Tales from the Dugout then you should like this book also. That's it I hope you read this book it is a great book.
