Started reading on the day of the As home opener,! I really wanted to love this book, but I just found it to be okay.
I loved chapter, “The Best Games We Ever Saw”! And I enjoyed Rickey Henderson's chapter too! The rest of the book is really more about the

daily process of the people who work with and for the Oakland A's.
Not much insight to the happenings on the field itself, at least not enough for me, And I hated that a chapter was wasted on Dave Kaval, a man who is breaking the hearts of true A's fans, For me, I wanted more player interviews, insight, and stories, But again, chapterwas good enough to add a star to my rating! I'm a huge A's fan and it was "just alright"

I appreciate the broadcasters, but this book covered way too much broadcasting technique and stories of how they call games for having a title of "stories from the Oakland A's dugout.

I was hoping for more behind the scenes stories of Oakland A's that most A's fans haven't already heard, I'm still glad that I bought and read it, Just to be clear, I dont think there was anything wrong with the writing styles, I just think I was looking for a different subject matter style book with the title that it has.
Im going to try Susan Slussers “things every As fan, . . ” next. Its probably more what I was looking for, I really enjoyed this insider's look at all aspects of the game and the organization, I was glad to read that both Korach and Slusser felt that the portrayal of Art Howe in the movie version of Moneyball was very unfair.
