Thanks. I’ll add it to my 2:30 on the shitter read today.

I have romanticized my Little League years as being about the happiest time in my life, which is probably why I might read this book.

There was drinking, smoking and cursing in Hoosiers?

Well, Gene Hackman was drinking, but the “smallest school to reach the finals and play against a city team” analogy fits.

I don’t like sports books/movies…but it seems like some people here might.

Yeah – I generally don’t like them either. I read Grisham’s Playing for Pizza which was fair but reminded me why I stay away. Oddly, my wife was the one that recommended the Grisham book – shudda been my first clue.

Before I read this excerpt, I wanted to get to the end and think “I can’t wait to read the next chapter.”, but I didn’t get that.

Why doesnt TBL ever warn us about these things? Totally out of left field.

That was the most amazing part of Chicken Legs, you just didn’t know what hit you when it happened.

The subtitle makes it sound like its another Bad News Bears, but with less drinking, smoking and cursing.
