Bunts: Curt Flood, Camden Yards, Pete Rose, and Other Reflections on Baseball by George F. Will
frogcatcher3's review against another edition
4.0
This book is a 3.5 so I'm rounding up. A collection of Will's writings on baseball from throughout his career.
I'm torn. I agree 100% with him that the DH is the worst rule in sports and that the owners can't get out of their own way and make the game better. However, he is an awful right wing GOP hack and a huge Cubs fan so there are 2 major strikes against him.
Most of the essays here are short and interesting but he repeats a lot and relies on the same few stats over and over. I get it, they were written over decades but lumped together it gets annoying.
Anyways, 3.5(rounded to 4) because he clearly loves baseball and how can I argue with that?
