The best baseball book I've ever read.
To add to the discussion, Lawrence Ritter worked with the famous Olympics filmmaker Bud Greenspan on a one-hour 1971 film based on the book. I had the opportunity to meet Greenspan at a speaking appearance about 15 years ago and he lit up when I asked him about the film. We wound up sitting together talking baseball for an hour and he signed the VHS box for me. That's his signature in blue on the baseball image. A wonderful memory.
