A good book for new and old fans: I'm a person who really just got into baseball so Luciano's way of telling his great experiences really pulled me in. His stories are very funny and informative on the true ways of the game.

The hilarious account of the late major league umpire, Ron Luciano. He covers his days in the minors, his numerous run-ins with Earl Weaver, and Nolan Ryan's 'exploding' fastball. ( )
