397 Words2 Pages

The time has come, baseball season is in full swing! Now that basketball has long since ended, it’s time for America’s greatest pastime to begin. Not to knock other sports, but come on.

  • George Gmelch Playing With Tigers Summary

    487 Words  | 2 Pages

    Most books about the minor league stick to what happens on the field and in the clubhouse.

Gmelch’s discussion of these topics is where the book thrives. He not only recalls them with the aid of diaries he kept during his playing days, but his style of writing makes you empathize with him. My heart broke for Gmelch as he recalled difficult breakups with his first girlfriend, but I howled with laughter when Gmelch talked about the jokes he and his teammates played on one another.

    The tan sand around the bases with the growing green grass and old worn out cracked dugouts is where I would have been. The Albany baseball diamond was where me and my friends hung out. We would hit old worn out baseballs with the leather coming off of them and run around the aged bases and sleep on the old rickety metal things they called bleachers. The school right beside it also had a playground which we may or may not have supposed to be on. Dairy Dream was just across the street with the delicious smell of hot chocolate fudge and the nose tingling scent of vanilla ice cream that filled the air.
