If this is not the best baseball book I have ever read, it comes mighty close.  I have read this book three times and am looking forward to reading it again.  I love the characters, I love the conceit of the book (waking up in the 19th century and getting to hang out with and play with the Cincinnati Red Stockings is a pretty compelling fantasy for anyone who loves baseball and I most certainly do), and I completely bought the emotional complexity of the story.  It doesn’t hurt to have a believable Mark Twain show up.  On top of  a great story and wonderful characters you want to spend more time with, Darryl Brock is a fine writer who never skips a beat.  Just a knock out book that I love deeply.  Reviewed by Readiac.
