Customer Review: Good Product for Softball... not so much baseball
The product is as shown, so I guess I didn't do enough research when I bought this. If you're looking for a scorebook for baseball, this probably isn't what you want. There's 9 innings only, so any "free baseball" will leave you going to the next page. There's also room for 17 players (with three substitutes each), which clearly is not necessary for baseball. I take full blame for buying the wrong product for me personally, as I'm using this to score baseball. But I warn anybody who might fall into the same trap! However, if you're scoring softball, this product would be great for you.
Customer Review: just like it says
book appears the way that it looks and works just fine for our softball league.

The baseball hats of today are easy to wear and feel good. They are worn by men and women, young and old. Baseball hats can be worn at any time of the year and to almost any function. Baseball hats are even made for infants.

The baseball hat, worn by team players as well as fans, is an important symbol of the game of baseball.

In 1860 there were many styles of baseball hats. The baseball hat of the late 1860's was made of wool and ranged in price from $1.25 to $2 each. Today there are still different styles and the prices depend on where you buy and what the baseball hats are made of.

Visit a baseball stadium or even a kid's Little League game and see all the fans wearing baseball hats. Baseball hats unite the crowd and are a great way to cheer the team on.

Maybe you are a baseball hat collector. It is a growing hobby and allows those who really enjoy baseball hats a chance to find hats from every team and player throughout all the years of baseball. Some of these baseball hats are very valuable and many are autographed.

Baseball Hats Have Come A Long Way

If you have a favorite team or player you will have a huge selection of baseball hats. They are available world-wide and usually are quite reasonably priced. Many fans own several baseball hats and enjoy wearing them when their team is playing even if they can't actually attend the game.

Baseball: A Film By Ken Burns - Original Soundtrack Recording

Hailed as perhaps the greatest filmed document in the history of the sport, Ken Burns's epic series chronicled more than a century's worth of baseball lore. The producers paid nearly as much attention to the audio as the stunning visuals, but this soundtrack is slightly uneven. Baseball errs on the side of good taste a bit too often, what with contributions from Bruce Hornsby, Carly Simon, and Natalie Cole peppered amid classics by the likes of Duke Ellington and Count Basie. The well-chosen historical material--including calls spanning five full decades--should interest die-hard fans, though. --David Sprague
Customer Review: This CD completes the Book and Video or DVD Set
I should have posted this review here several years ago. This CD complements the book and video or DVD set and includes a variety of songs and great moments from baseball's glorious history. Several renditions of Take Me Out to the Ball Game are included, my favorite being the one done by Carly Simon. Other songs include those of players Jackie Robinson, Joe DiMaggio, and Willie Mays. Gee It's A Wonderful Game is a song written by Ring Lardner several years ago, and probably not recognizable to most fans. Some of the great moments included are Bobby Thomson's memorable home run on 10-3-51, and Henry Aaron's historic home run passing Babe Ruth. If you have the book and the video or DVD set, but don't have this CD, your set is incomplete. Include the CD now. It is certainly worth it.
Customer Review: A HOME RUN FOR ANY BASEBALL FAN!
While this soundtrack does not contain every song from the movie, it has the COMPLETE songs (not the snippets played in the movie) and the ones they picked are great! You will find yourself listening to this CD over and over again! The CD contains not only musical pieces but also radio calls (including Russ Hodges's famous "The Giants Win The Pennant!" call) and quotes. There is something for everyone on this CD, even if you are not a huge fan of any given team. (I ordered it used but if no used copies are available the music is well worth the new price.)

For those whose appreciation of sports extends no further than the city limits of New York or Boston, a book about a team of mere provincials may prove as alluring to east coast sophisticates as a trip to WalMart to mingle with the riffraff. But for those with a love of the traditions and lore of the Great American Pastime, Tales from the Detroit Tigers Dugout offers a welcome and tantalizing glimpse into one of the oldest and most successful baseball teams in history. Fast-paced and tightly written, the book will delight Tiger fans, and enlighten fans everywhere.

Book Review- Tales from the Detroit Tigers Dugout by Jack Ebling

Though often ignored by sportswriters from bigger cities, Tiger legends are among the most gifted and venerated names in the history of the sport. Ty Cobb, for instance, was probably the best player ever to walk onto a baseball fieldand arguably the nastiest and most contemptible human being ever to don a baseball uniform. But other Tigers were almost as skilled, yet often labored in the shadows of their better-publicized counterparts from the coast. Hank Greenburg, Charlie Gehringer, Al Kaline, and other Hall-of-Famers brought off-field class as well as on-field brilliance to the game. As the author notes, their contribution to franchise history is not lost on students or true fans of the game. Though like other stars of Cooperstown, their timeless talents are often obscured by the large salaries and larger egos of todays lesser stars, fans of all ages and eras will enjoy the stories of how and why baseball in Detroit has grown along with the game that is among the treasures of American culture.

As the author recounts, in recent years the team from Motown had fallen on hard times. Tiger fans had begun to measure the time between winning teams in decades, rather than seasons, capped by a team-record 119 losses in 2003. Yet in those dark years, careful behind-the-scenes planning was already laying the foundation for the teams 2006 re-emergence into the upper tier of major league baseball. And the book is filled with past legends and hints of future glory that offer fans the promise of baseball glory in the years to come.

All Americans love an underdog, one who can rise from nothing and soldier on through adversity. Win or lose, there is something about the struggles of the common man that speaks to the American heart, giving us hope for ourselves and our future. A book about baseball will not solve the problems of world hunger or global terrorism, but the magic of sports consists of bringing people together through shared adventures in a sheltered world where conflicts are solved through teamwork and effort. And by sharing some of the hopes and dreams of a long-suffering and newly emerging sports team, Tales from the Detroit Tigers Dugout reminds us that miracles are everywhere around us. We only need to open our eyes and hearts to the magic, and sports can bring smiles to our souls, no matter what is happening in the rest of the world.
