To Pulitzer Prize-winner George Will, baseball is a serious business perfected by athletes who do nearly impossible things through obsessive focus and bodily sacrifice. If you don‘t agree, Will‘s encyclopedic mind and about 10,000 statistics will pummel you into submission with a Louisiana Slugger. True fans will gobble up the numbers, but I enjoyed the anecdotes, interviews and insights. Enjoy this one with a hot dog and peanuts at Fenway Park.
