I expect the potential readership for this book, which tells the adventures of an American baseball player in Japan in the late 1980s, is limited. It was quite interesting to me however as I am a baseball fan and I was in Japan at the time. Cromartie (“Cro”) was a very skillful player. He was frequently in the Japanese sports news, and I actually got to see him play a few games. His story is readable, wry, funny, and quite poignant at times.
3.5 stars rounded up.
