I haven't even finished this read and I love it. I love Bernie, I love baseball, I love America, and I love the people of the Earth. That, in my opinion, is what this book is about. Get this treasure before they run out of printed copies!

Not a conventional sports/baseball book. Really gets into music and similarities with baseball. Info beneficial to aspiring musicians and ballplayers.

rhythms of the game
most books are BORING> however, i have always been a fan of bernie so it's interesting how he compares his thinking when he is playing baseball as to when he is playing music.
