I guess I didn’t comply with your demand, since I didn’t BUY the book, but I did sit in a book store and READ the book, and I have to agree with just about everything written in this review: Posnanski is easily one of the best sportswriters working today, and the book is tremendous. In 1975 I was one year younger than Pos (7), and while I have the vaguest of recollections about that season (I was a Red Sox fan, so I felt not-so-happy about the result, but I did have SOME inkling of the greatness of the Reds, which only grew as I got older and realized exactly how great that team actually was), this book put me squarely in the middle of it. I felt as thought I were experiencing it anew for the first time. Now I will have to read Posnanski’s other book, ‘The Soul of Baseball’.

I grew up in Cincinnati in the 70’s I love Joe P and the Reds, seriously this book could be a 20 from what I know about the content and Joe.

Dieing to read it and darn glad I was able to experience it first hand

You know how people remember where they were at key moments of history? Things like: where they were when they heard about Pearl Harbor; What they were doing when JFK was assassinated; The first moon landing; Nixon resigning. Well I remember where I was and what I was doing like it was yesterday…when Fisk hit his “body english” homer in game six. What a Series!
