“With adroit precision and quiet enthrallment, Mike Steinberg leads us into the American Epoch that was New York and baseball in the 1950s. But to say that Still Pitching is simply about baseball is to say that Moby Dick was a good little book about whales.” - Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River.
