Great Listen

Great info. Love the narrator. If you love baseball, this book adds a lot of content that most people don’t think about.

Interesting Story - Narrator =meh

Revisado: 02-21-25

I really enjoyed this story and if you like baseball, I highly recommend it. The narrator is ok. When he just reads at a normal pace, he is fine. When he tries to emphasize something he becomes soft (like all the poems at the beginning of each chapter) which is so cringe. Towards the end of the book, it was like nails on a chalk board. Luckily it wasn’t that often.

Ok Story/Beyond Awful Narration

Revisado: 02-18-25

In over 200 Audible books, this is by far the worst narrator. Period. He consistently sounds like he is yelling (just listen to the intro, I wish I had), his annunciation is brutal and he consistently mispronounces words. I keep asking myself: How does the publisher not know this? The editing is bad. Several times the same phrases were repeated. Also, you could always tell when the narrator did a reread because his voice would go much softer and then a sentence or two later, back to the yelling. If you made it this far and are still thinking of listening to this book, the content is more towards WW II then Baseball. I’d say 65/35 in material. Still, the content wasn’t bad. Maybe read this book instead of listening to it??

Good story about early baseball

Revisado: 01-08-25

Good info about baseball in the late 1800’s. The narrator is virtual voice which was solid. No issues

Solid book - Fiction

Revisado: 01-01-25

This was a good story but as the author points out in the notes at the end, this book is fiction. I didn’t know that when I started it. Not a big deal and still a good story.

This book is all over the place

Revisado: 12-12-24

This book is just weird. I get the feeling the author has never written a book or is very new as the story is extremely disjointed. Also the author makes cherry picked comparisons to say Cy was in the same category as HoF players like Hornsby, Waner or Ruth. He also uses the word “Unique” and I don’t think he knows the meaning of the word as in many cases, other players had the same achievements.

With that said, there was some great information on Cy and players of the time. A baseball fan that likes those timeframes, would find some interesting information and I would recommend with the expectation that it gets bumpy and disjointed.

I did not care for the narration in this book but that is probably just my preference.
