IF you enjoy the strategy of pitching and catching and IF you like diversions and asides for most of the players on both teams THEN you will probably like this baseball book as much as I did.

Originally found on a list of "10 best baseball books", this book is literally a pitch-by-pitch account of the 1968 world series, game one. The prologue "pregame" delves into the season and the afterword "postgame" touches on the other games in the series. Asides and anecdotes run the gamut from a micro-history of Curt Flood and free agency, Tim McCarver's four decades of play and an announcing career only recently ended, and Cardinal teams past present and future.

Definitely worth the read, though recommended only for a limited audience.
