Offering wonderful perspectives on dozens of unique (and likely never-to-be-seen-again) baseball personalities, Seasons in Hell recounts some of the most extreme characters ever to play the game and brings to life the no-holds-barred culture of major league baseball in the mid-'70s.

Not much baseball here
Revisado: 04-25-18
Way too much juvenile discussion about the author's drinking habits. Unfunny, uninteresting. I gave up on ig around Chapter 7.

In The Extra 2%, financial journalist and sportswriter Jonah Keri chronicles the remarkable story of one team's Cinderella journey from divisional doormat to World Series contender. By quantifying the game's intangibles, they were able to deliver to Tampa Bay an American League pennant. This is an informative and entertaining case study for any organization that wants to go from worst to first.

Interesting book, lousy narrator
Revisado: 11-07-14
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Great for baseball fans who enjoy behind-the-scenes and front-office narratives.
Would you be willing to try another one of Lloyd James’s performances?
No.
Any additional comments?
This book really needed a narrator who is at least a little familiar with baseball. Mispronounced names are jarring -- Tom GlaVINE, Cory Little (Lidle) a handful of others. Unforgivable is One to zero (game scores), Nine to six (a pitcher's 9-6 won-loss record) and three to two (a 3-2 pitch count). Not isolated instances, but constants throughout.
