5.0 out of 5 stars
a big winner
This book by Alan Klein, the leading authority on the social science of baseball, may be his best (he is also the author of Sugarball, and Baseball on the Border). In Growing the Game he unravels MLB's efforts to expand baseball outside the U.S. Lucid and engaging. Perfect for my Sport, Culture and Society course.

The first book on the globalization of basebal?...wrong!!
Growing the Game is just a waste of time and money...The issue of the globalization of baseball has been better analyzed by other authors in the past 5 years!!..Klein is just way out of touch!!...Don't buy it!

Illuminating look at the changing face of America's former national pastime and its recent growth around the globe. The research, which includes material on baseball in Italy, Germany and the UK, as well as the usual suspects, is impressive.

Torrez should wait until the book is released.,
This review is from: Growing the Game: The Globalization of Major League Baseball (Hardcover)
Remarkable!! Klein's book is not even out yet, a minor point for M. Torrez who trashes it without having read a word. Readers of these reviews should take note- this space can be a clearing house for people with grudges and agendas. Pay no attention to my rating; I am the author and had to rate the book in order to caution unsuspecting readers.
