"The" Baseball
By Danny B. Wood - May 5, 2011I've been a baseball fan for over 50 years. I've played since I was 6 years old, I played in high school and college and Over 50 baseball. I've umpired and I've collected all types of baseballs including over 3,000 autographed balls and another 2,000 logo type balls. I literally learned something NEW on every page of the first half of the book that I never knew. The research that went in to this book has never been done or at least published before. Anyone that is able to actually visit the Rawlings plant in Costa Rica certainly has my respect. It is the most incredible book I have ever read about "the ball". Thanks, Zack!!
Very unique book
By Jeremy Frank - May 4, 2011A reporter is meant to be our eyes and ears on a subject for which we read and learn from. Zack Hample has entered the inner sanctum of the makings of the baseball - in Costa Rica. We learn every stage of how a baseball is created, the pill, the cork, the stitching, how exacting it is, and how the ball and MLB's attitude toward it has changed- along with ballhawking, snagging baseballs. There is a treasure trove of facts here, a fascinating read.
