Review of The Grandest Stage by Tyler Kepner

 Fans of the American Pastime will love this book. It has so many stories that you'll likely get tired of reading them all by the end. There are fascinating stories from the early days of the World Series to the latest one. There are obscure stories of players you probably don't know and plenty of them that feature names known to every baseball fan.

The only negative thing I saw in the book was the forcing the book into seven chapters, one for each game of a complete series, made them very long. I think I would have liked it more if it was split into the top and bottom half of each inning as chapter breaks. It was a little hard to stay on track with the theme of the chapters for me as well.  

Overall, I enjoyed reading the book and I believe baseball fans will also enjoy the read.
