Not a baseball fan, so this one's not on my list. Never read it.

Me too. I hate baseball. Most likely I'll never read it.

Baseball's ok, except for all the expectorating and the fact it's now more of a business then a game and, oh yeah, I never read this book. I can't even recall ever hearing about it before.

Never read, not a baseball fan either, so I probably won't.

OK, I'm a huge King fan, a collector of first editions (like, every single one), and I love baseball! At least, National League baseball (Cubs fan here).

Yet I have never even heard of this book. King wrote this??

How is that even possible for a huge King fan to not hear of a book, especially a recent one? For my part though, I too haven't read it yet, though I think it could be interesting, despite the fact I think baseball is utterly boring.

I have no idea.

I thought for sure I'd be able to vote for every poll, b/c I've read every single one of his books**. Or so I thought.

(Not including The Plant, the New Lt.'s Rap and some of the internet only stuff.)

Not into basebal that much, but if Sai King write, I must read. Enjoyed the input and seeing the fun he had writing it. Average to me.

I have not read this book. I may someday but it is highly doubtful that I will. Too low on the priority list.

I'd glance over it there's ever a collection of all of King's non-fiction in one easy place. Otherwise, no thanks. I even like the Red Sox well enough, but baseball only really interested me as a little kid. King writes so nicely though that I can enjoy any topic he tackles, though this might be pushing it. What I'd really like is a sequel or update to Danse Macabre.

If I ever have the opportunity to get a bargain copy, I will, until then....never read.

Never read it even though I have a first edition signed by both King and O'nan. :wtf:
