内容説明
In Confessions of a Baseball Purist Jon Miller takes us on a journey into the heart of baseball as he's seen it from the best seat in the house. He brings to life the emotion of the night Cal Ripken broke Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played record, the history-soaked drama when the Giants and the Dodgers faced off in a crucial pennant-race series in September '97, Eddie Murray's fitting return to the Orioles to hit his 500th home run; and the day Edward Bennett Williams--then-owner of the Orioles--approved the plans for the creation of Camden Yards. But Jon doesn't shy away from pointing a finger at the darker forces at work in the game: the follies of radical realignment; excessive reliance on novelties such as widespread interleague play; and owners and general managers who can't make a move without discussing the economic ramifications, even though that's the last thing their fans want to hear about. True to the broadcaster's art, Confessions of a Baseball Purist calls the game the way Jon Miller sees it: with wit, with style, and with absolute candor.
For the baseball purist in all of us, Miller provides a rallying cry, some warm memories, and reasons to keep believing in the game we love. "Miller's effort to capsulate the All-American game might be called Ruthian."--New York Times "What sets Miller's memoir apart from other, similar accounts is his opinionated insider's view of the game. For example, he likes some interleague play but adamantly opposes radical realignment of the league structure. Baseball fans will love Miller's mix of opinion, anecdote, and self-deprecating humor."--Booklist "Miller's book is loaded with commonsense insight into the world of baseball."--USA Today "Baseball fans given to debating the game's structure and style of play will find plenty here to engage their interests."--Washington Post "Crammed with great stories, candid observations, and a genuine affection for the game."--San Francisco Chronicle "A charming little memoir."--Chicago Tribune
