Basing his claims on more than 130 in-depth interviews with baseball fans from ages 10 to 80, the author arrives at some extraordinary conclusions about the prismatic richness of the fan's experience of baseball and its importance in his or her life. What these interviews suggest and what the author's introductory sections argue is that to its most ardent fans, baseball is not only a source of great and lasting pleasure, but an important socialising agent and a vital expression and determinant of character.
