3.0 out of 5 stars
Good,but it could have been longer,
This review is from: Umpires: Classic Baseball Stories from the Men Who Made the Calls (Paperback)
This book interviews umpires who worked in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. They tell stories about memorable games they worked. There are a lot of umpires interviewed that were my favorites and I enjoyed catching up with them.
However, I wanted more. Gerlach's book provides dozens of pages for each umpire to tell their story from start to finish. Skipper's book tells a few stories of memorable games the umpires worked. I wanted to read more. This is a fun read, but for umpire hardcore fans like myself, this book left me wanting more.

This review is from: Umpires: Classic Baseball Stories from the Men Who Made the Calls (Paperback)
Stories told by former umps -- some of whom were considered marginal umps. That fact makes it interesting reading. It is a good research tool. But better reading can be found in Gerlach's book.
