In the "where are they now?" tradition, the author presents numerous vignettes illustrative of the later lives of a variety of baseball players from the fifties, sixties, and seventies, along with a thumbnail of their careers. For the most part, he does a good job of staying away from superstars in favor of the ones who have had to scramble a little and whose stories are usually more interesting I liked this book best when Kiersh let the men speak for themselves; left to his own devices, he tends to revert to a razzmatazz style which I found somewhat offputting.

A "where are they now" collection of some of our favorite baseball heroes - from when we were kids. Dated now, of course, but well-read, and well-loved. ( )
