The Dugout

ok, well, it could've been worse.

i really hated this book at first. it's hard to get through the first few chapters, and i can't even begin to explain how much i hate this whole ‘i'm different from other girls because i'm a girl who likes baseball' concept.

but

there are cute moments. i like the friendship they developed at first, and i was actually enjoying reading that period when they'd become friends and were beginning to develop feelings for each other. it was good, wholesome baseball-ness.

and then it wasn't and it dropped from 3 to 2 stars

by the way: only major leaguers have a lot of $$$. minor leaguers are paid dust and often have to resort to getting part-time jobs to make ends meet, unless they come from a wealthy family/organisation. otherwise, the baseball in this book is accurate, which is why i have to give it more than one star.
