The Entitled by Frank Deford
3.0
What is about baseball fiction that is so appealing? Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, this book, others - all favorites of mine even though I’m somewhat indifferent to the game itself. (I can quote Bull Durham backward and forwards). Does baseball really parallel life that well, as the author of this book, Frank DeFord, suggests?
It was not hard for me to like this book. I’m a huge fan of Frank DeFord, a sportswriter who appears weekly on public radio. As I read the book to myself it was almost as if I could here his voice reading the words out loud. If you’re a fan of his, you may find this book close in style to his essays, even though it’s fiction.
