1 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing   April 30, 2008
 27 out of 40 found this review helpful

A terrible book - one of Feinstein's worst. Limited insight - no real analysis. Basically just a game by game rehashing of the season with no new information for a fan that follows baseball and the Mets and Yankees, specifically. Mr. Feinstein presented nothing beyond what already exists in boxscores and game recaps. Its almost as if he spent a year following Mussina and Glavine and then he realized that there really wasnt an interesting book in their respective seasons; but, after spending all that time, he needed to produce something. In addition to the subpar effort from Mr. Feinstein, there were too many typos to count.


4 out of 5 stars 99% perfect   April 23, 2008

This was an excellent book, with the notable exception of a few errors - typos on last names, mistaking the Trenton Thunder as the AAA Yankees affiliate (it's the AA team), and biggest of all, stating that the Mets and Nationals (it was the Phils) were in a first place tie on the last day of the season.

Other than those things, this book was fantastic, giving timely insight into what goes on in the pitchers' minds throughout the season. I highly recommend it for any fan of Moose, Glavine, the Mets or Yanks, or any baseball fan in general.
