4.0 out of 5 stars Good Stories, June 18, 2003

This review is from: Strike Two (Mass Market Paperback)

These are good stories about the umpiring life, but if you have read his first book "The Umpire Strikes Back", you may find a lot of this to be a rehash. There is some new information and even some of the old stories are cleaned up, but to quote Yogi Berra, I got a strong sense of deja vu all over again. If you have not read the first book, then this one is a good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid hitter, April 9, 2005

By 

Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Strike Two (Hardcover)

Baseball fans should find this book most entertaining - great reading during a rain delay. Luciano was an American League umpire, famous for his way of "gunning" out batters on the base paths and his legendary on-field arguments with Earl Weaver. This book, his second, and much like the first, recounts humorous stories while umpiring from the minor leagues up through the majors. Great stories: the baseball diamond can be a pretty wacky place sometimes.

For the baseball fan who can never be behind the scenes, on the field or in the dugout, Ron Luciano has filled the void. He shares with the reader his experiences, his interactions with the players, managers and the great game of baseball, making the reader feel like one of the insiders. This book will make you laugh out loud.
