This joyful memoir of sports and sportswriting - of a time when the writers and the players would spend their days laughing on the road together and their nights drinking in bars together, without a press agent in sight - brings to life the years when baseball was not only the national pastime, but established itself as a symbol of masculinity and grace in America.
