Minor League Success

A hardcore fan looking for stats and game stories will not rate this book a five but if your are looking for a real life baseball story mixed in with some small town Americana this is the book for you. The author follows Francisco Liriano and Justin Olson throught the 2005 minor league season. But this book is alot more than that it also is the travel from one small town to another and the life around minor league baseball. The author interviews the small teams PR people, owners, GM's, coaches and just the team guys that have been around for years. This book gives you the Minor League flavor from Buffalo to New Britain and every stop in between. All baseball fans know who Liriano is and you will get some insight into him but not much. It's a quick read and enjoyable from my perspective.
