Oh thanks Ti. I’m glad you liked this one too. It seems to reach beyond baseball but still be about it too. Many facets to an entertaining story.

Thanks for sharing it with me in one of your recent comments. I didn’t expect to love it so I was totally taken off guard by it. I like baseball well enough but don’t know the game all that well. That didn’t stop me from enjoying the book though (thankfully). I never even considered this to be a debut for the author. It seemed so polished and well done.

I enjoyed this book so much, too, and my husband just got a copy to start reading. He is an avid baseball fan, so I think he’ll enjoy it thoroughly. It was nice to have him to be able to consult while I read The Art of Fielding. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

this novel doesn’t get too bogged down on baseball — so you’ll likely be okay

I’ll just have to keep reminding myself that it’s a novel, not a baseball game. 🙂 And really, it’s not as if I dislike the sport, I just usually don’t have the patience to watch for very long.

Wow that’s really cool. I guess it worked out!

Her answer was, oh, a novel a friend of mine wrote that will be published soon. Of course, it was The Art of Fielding! His 6 degrees of separation moment!

Go for it — before another misfortune blotches it for good! Albeit, it’s not a good one for lugging.

I found it days later, all rippled and ruined. I can still read it… it’s not that bad now but lugging it around in the state it is in has not happened yet. I should just get it read, no?

However, your thoughts now motivate me to take a second look.
