"Hayhurst, even more so than Bouton before him, is an extremely gifted writer. His accounts, especially the personal ones, evoke all of his emotions in the moment and make his own personal growth evident. He earns high praise for telling it like it is, even when it makes him look conceited or naive.
I rank this book as an absolute must-read. Hayhurst goes so far to call some ballplayers "dirtbag savages" and whether he's right or not, his opinion is a very interesting read."
No mention of the mythical garfoose.
