Book Reviews of Lords of the Realm
Book Review: A baseball book for the true fan
Summary: 5 Stars
As a genre, baseball books are of two general types- the rarely interesting memoirs of a jock, or the baseball writer/enthusiast's dissection of the game in general, or a season or team in particular.Author John Heylar has written a much different book here. "The Lords of Baseball" is an insightful analysis of the business of baseball- the relationship between capital and labor, and their precarious relationship with the fans who attend games. For many a baseball enthusiast, this is a timely reminder that baseball is not merely a sport or pastime. It is a business. A writer for The Wall Street Journal, Heylar's prose is efficient and businesslike. The subject could be a dull one, but Heylar navigates it with confidence and gives the reader an informative, if dry, look at baseball's finances.
