Industry Reviews
"Baseball and theology might seem to make strange bedfellows. But, like a medieval schoolman who could make theology out of just about anything, Coover has spliced the two together and produced a species of baseball scripture....It would be a pity if the baseball buffs were put off by the mythology, or the mythology rooters dismayed by the baseball. Coover has in fact written a fine baseball novel, the best I can remember in an admittedly thin field, and based obviously on a study of the texts. His atmosphere is turn-of-the-century early Lardner....The language is just right--colorful but not fancy....Not to read it because you don't like baseball is like not reading Balzac because you don't like boarding houses."
New York Times Book Review - Wilfrid Sheed (07/07/1968)
