Roger Kahn said of this book, "The first and, I believe, the best of all the baseball books written from the point of view of the man in the stands."<br /><br />A must read for baseball fans. Here's how it begins:<br /><br />- - - - -<br /><br />When the evening papers of September 28, 1954, reported that a dozen men and boys were already camping across the street from the bleacher entrance outside the Polo Grounds prior to the first World Series contest, I felt the urge.<br /><br />I turned to my wife and said, "I think I'll go to the game tomorrow."<br /><br />She said, "Don't you need a ticket?"<br /><br />I said, "Only for the reserved seats. I'll sit in the bleachers."<br /><br />JPJames Prellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342728812342563278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482156857828868888.post-19795571007954924022009-05-07T07:51:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:51:00.000-04:00Thanks Susan.
