rpmasse's review against another edition
4.0
Doug Harvey came up through baseball on a very difficult and strange road. His goal was to be known as the best umpire in Major League Baseball and then be better than that. His journey gave him a field level view to some of the greatest games, players and moments that baseball has ever seen. Then he pulls the curtain back and lets the reader into the protected world of the umpire. If you love the game of baseball regardless if you are a player, coach umpire or fan you want to read this book.

Glad that I read this, but hoo-boy. This collection of anecdotes is somewhat ordered towards the front and scattered pell-mell towards the back. There are a few opinions about umpiring expressed, though some conflict with others. The best message - stick to a good work ethic.
There is some value in connecting incidents mentioned in some anecdotes to box scores or youtube versions of the same events. Otherwise, I cannot recommend this book to anyone. 1½ stars.
