5 ⭐️ I am both a New Englander *and* a fan of baseball generally/Red Sox specifically, so it wasn‘t a stretch to think that I would enjoy this. Still: while baseball‘s longest game is at its core (without that game, the thread of the book that ties all the individuals together would not exist), this book is less about baseball and more about humanity, humility, and our humble existence on this earth. Every person has a story, friends. ⚾️

The first novella is a tale of obsession, the kind all pro athletes must have to excel at that level. Of course, it‘s King, so that obsession isn‘t just about being a good catcher.

The second story is even darker, pondering morality and the basis of it. Neither Blockade Billy nor Morality is King‘s greatest work, but they‘re worth the two hours or so I spent with them.

Time for my Saturday scone! I dropped my son off at work at 5 this morning and went right to work myself when I got home. Time for a tea break and some time devoted to catching up on my chapter a day reads.

Ruthiella 5 AM! 😳 You are a good parent! 2w

My husband stopped at Popeyes and brought home chicken for dinner. I‘m watching the Red Sox in 2025 and reading about the Yankees in 1923. #hyggehourreadathon

Settling in for some #hygge time. For some reason the only snack that sounded good to me tonight was raisins and water. One of those days when I‘m hungry but I‘m tired of food. Reading tonight is the tagged and a chapter of Extraordinary Insects. I might look through some cookbooks I got for #FoodAndLit too. Enjoy the hour everyone.

TheBookHippie ♥️ we were just talking about raisins here! Well… oatmeal raisin cookies … 3w

Mehso-so

I love the premise of this book- two college buddies set out to watch a game at every major league ballpark in 30 days. It didn‘t quite work in execution though. One of the guys didn‘t even like baseball. So it‘s less a book about baseball than a book about two guys waiting for baseball games to end so they can explain some more about road trip logistics.

Aims42 Awww, bummer! The premise of this does sound good! ⚾️ 3w
Susanita This is out-of-date now with new teams and so many new parks, but it‘s a fun book. 3w
Bookwormjillk @Susanita thank you! 3w
