Baseball complete...a complete waste of your time.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Baseball complete
This book was written in 1951, and it more than shows. I grew up in San Francisco in the mid-60's, and I enjoyed Russ Hodges' radio play-by-play for years. Yet I never recall him speaking on the airwaves in the same verbage as in this book.It's loaded with the most archaic baseball phrases - many that I suspect were out-of-fashion even when the book was written. Slabster/chucker (pitcher), willow (bat), stickman (batter), outer garden (outfield) and other oddities are used throughout. Alliteration also abounds in the very scattershot prose. Most "stories" are just a paragraph in length, maybe two. Many baseball books would space all these tidbits apart for clarity, but this book just hops from one thing to another with little cohesion. A period piece at best, and I'd avoid this one.
