Book Reviews of The Code: Baseball's Unwritten Rules and It's Ignore-at-Your-Own-Risk Code of Conduct
Book Review: so-so baseball book
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is a somewhat easy read, and somewhat enlightening when it came to beanballs and drilling batters in retaliation for violating the code. However, there are better baseball books out there on the other topics. For example, on cheating and steroids, check out "The Cheater's Guide to Baseball".
And to the previous reviewer - yes, the author had previously written a book on the hockey code, which is referenced several times in the book.
Summary of The Code: Baseball's Unwritten Rules and It's Ignore-at-Your-Own-Risk Code of Conduct
The Code is an indispensable guide to the inner workings of baseball's internal system of justice and sportsmanship, all described by the men who've enforced it. You'll never watch a game the same way again.General Books
