Power Ball: Anatomy of a Modern Baseball Game di Rob Neyer
Very interesting and opinionated book about, well, the modern game of Baseball. Covers a wide range of topics from bunting to climate change to diversity to tv revenue. Great read for baseball nerds.
Solid narrative of an September 2017 baseball game, using the ebb and the flow to tell the story of today's game. I've been reading Neyer since the ESPN days of 99-00 and this is near his best work.
One false note to this reader was his aside on race & baseball, and his odd insistence on questioning who is African-American. I think Neyer and his editor could have used some introspection or perspective from a person of color to understand how wrong his failed attempt to be a race gatekeeper was.… (altro)

An utterly joyful read. Neyer has been one of my favourite baseball writers for a long time, and in this book he explores the contemporary game through following a late season Astros-A's matchup. Reading it is like listening to one of the great commentators, who animate the action and fill the quiet moments in the game with stories. Baseball fans will enjoy this part, and more casual fans will learn about how the game is changing.
Very readable look at modern trends in baseball through the framework of a late,season game between the Astros and As in late 2017. The day’s game is not very much the focus, but the transitions from that game to the issues he considers is smoothly done.
