Book Reviews of Spring Training
Book Review: Dreaming and Remembering
Summary: 4 Stars
After reading "Spring Training," I could not remember the last time I smiled more while reading. Zinsser captures the true essence of baseball's idyllic past, a past rife with the smell of grass and dirt and hot dogs and worn leather. As Zinsser explores the Pirates' spring training, he prophesies about modernity and its effects on the game, especially on the loss of the wonder of baseball and its heroes, and lovingly explains the greatness of baseball without air conditioning. This book calmly and cheerfully reminisces about the height of American joy expressed in the cheers of the spring training crowd waiting with new gloves and full hearts.
