This is difficult, because often in baseball the reality gets mixed up with the illusion, the stories become legends and lose their meaning. Kahn's book has not blurred this distinction; he seems to have as firm a hold on reality as Professor Dizzy Dean.

What she is saying, through...
...important to say, and it says it very well. It is not, however, the kind of film you'll rave about, but it is quite good and definitely worthwhile. And compared to most of the films showing during what Vincent Canby aptly calls the "silly season," you can't lose.
