Little League Confidential

One Coach's Completely Unauthorized Tale of Survival

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

One coach's completely unauthorized tale of survival, set in the manicured sandlots of suburban New Jersey Bill Geist, semi-permanent coach of Curl Up 'N Dye's Fighting Hairdressers, brings us a riotously funny record of an institution and its inmates-the innocent kids, the ruthless coaches, the shameless moms, and the litigious dads. Just when it seems that Little League may be no place for a kid, this all-star line-up of conniving commissioners and mitt-impaired fielders sends the sport off and over the wall. Praise for Little League Confidential "Bill Geist is the funniest writer since Marcel Proust-I mean Mark Twain-no, make that Yogi Berra."-Russell Baker "A lighthearted romp . . . essential reading for seasons to come."-The New York Times Book Review "Very, very, very funny."-Larry King, USA Today
