Maaaan... I mean, that book "resonates" in a way but it also was like kind of dark, like I kind of felt bad about this all-consuming hobby I have after having read it. YMMV of course. I'm 125% positive that Henry Waugh would be an OOTPer today...
I enjoyed "If I Never Get Back"; I can't say it's my *favorite* baseball novel since "The Natural" exists (which, also on my short list of movies that ruined books - not to say that the Robert Redford movie is bad, exactly, but it's sappy and nostalgic where the book was... kind of nostalgic for effect but because it was a retelling of the Arthurian legend in the setting of baseball and also a morality play about the effects of gambling on the game which we really could have used in the 80s TBH) but it was fun.
