EASY TO READ STORIES

THIS IS A COLLECTION OF SOME HUMOROUS AND OFF THE WALL STORIES ABOUT SOME OF BASBALL'S BIG NAMES. MOST OF THE PLAYERS COVERED ARE A PAGE OR TWO AND ARE ENTERTAINING. THIS IS NOTHING EARTH MOVING BUT I LIKED IT AND SUGGEST IT FOR ALL BASEBALL FANS. A NICE RAINY DAY FILLER.

Yawn

Not terribly well written, this is a compilation of baseball anecdotes. Few of them were new to me, and most were verbosely expounded upon. This does a disservice to many of the stories which would be best as shorter, pithier anecdotes. Also, there is nothing to separate the good, funny stories...

Could have been much better

Shannon's research is great, and his love of the sport comes through, but simply put the stories included aren't anything special. Anyone who has grown up listening to and loving our national pastime has certainly heard many stories much better than the ones here. Shannon explains that his intent...

Nice Book, But Nothing Revolutionary

The easiest way to write a book is to have other people tell the story while you write it down and take credit. This is not meant to discredit the author, Mike Shannon. However, as a lifelong baseball fan, I already heard many of these stories. In many cases, I enjoyed reading these stories...

Matt Dula is Wrong!

Corey Shneck, although he needs to learn how to spell, is right, MD. "Tales from the Dugout" is a great book and you're obviously not a baseball fan. So quit giving people interested in this book BS.

Greatest book

This would be a great book to read if you are going somewhere far away. It has the best short story's about baseball players and they are really humours. My favorite story I read was when the Toronto Blue Jay's outfielders threw a baseball at a segall and killed it. This was the best book I read.
