These pieces, from The Washington Post and national magazines, are arranged thematically so there is a narrative flow to the book and cover everything from Fay Vincent's ouster to Pete Rose's gambling to the Bo Jackson saga to the return of Steinbrenner. Another splendid gathering of smart, witty, beautifully written stories aboutt our national pastime, Cracking The Show confirms that when it comes to baseball, Boswell is in a league by himself. It's a sure hit for the 1995 baseball season.
"Boswell...is the thinking person's writer about the thinking person's sport...inexhaustibly interesting and fun."--George Will
