The Bullpen Gospels

The Bullpen Gospels: A Non-Prospect's Pursuit of the Major Leagues and the Meaning of Life by Dirk Hayhurst
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Was thinking this was more of a three-star review - lots of good anecdotes about the wacky world of the minor leagues but not a TON of substance, but Hayhurst reels it all in at the end. (A bit disappointing that the most poignant parts are recalled as a story, rather than told as it was happening like the rest of the book. Show, don't tell, Dirk!) Still, it wraps up so well and paints a vivid picture, I'd recommend it for any baseball fan.
