Derek Zumsteg

This book was great. Between the cheating by groundskeepers, the section on Billy Martin, and especially his take on Pete Rose (if his impropriety was a car crash vs. taking steroids):

"I admitted that I hit your car ... Can't we stop this witch-hunt and get on with our lives?"

Zumsteg, a local author, writes with a wicked sense of humor. The funniest part of the book for me was his account of a 1983 expletive-filled rant by Lee Elia, then Manager of the Chicago Cubs, discussing the bleacher bums of Wrigley Field.
