The Bronx Is Burning meets Chuck Klosterman in this wild pop-culture history of baseball's most colorful and controversial decade. The Major Leagues witnessed more dramatic stories and changes in the 70s than in any other era. The American popular culture and counterculture collided head-on with the national pastime, rocking the once-conservative sport to its very foundations. For the millions of fans who grew up during this time, Big Hair and Plastic Grass serves up a delicious trip down memory lane.

Strikes a Perfect Balance
Revisado: 03-26-20
This is one of the more interestingly -- and successfully -- structured books I've listened to. While the chapters do an outstanding year-to-year summary of the seasons through the 1970s, just when then the march through the years starts to feel methodical, the writer throws in a "break" chapter to focus on the some of the broader social, political and economic forces that shaped the game and gave this decade its own unique texture. Would love to see Epstein take on another decade or two. I'll be first in line too listen. Strong narration helps move the book along fluidly,

Finally, answers to all those strange questions you'd like to ask your own doctor but haven't had the guts (or more likely the time) to do so.

Whitless Self-Absorbed Banter Gets in the Way.
Revisado: 12-03-05
Couple nitwits (one a numbingly self-absored writer and the other a doctor) posing and answering cocktail-party medical questions that you can find better answers to on Google. I guess the banter between the two authors is supposed to be funny. It's not. After 10 minutes it was like chewing aluminum foil. Save your money.
