Excellent Fun BookBy edhays2If you are really interested in the whole aspect of baseball and the inner-workings during the off season this is a very good book. I have enjoyed it very much and Josh has done a fun job putting this information together for us readers.4 of 8 people found the following review helpful. The Book Is Not What I Thought It WasBy Bill EmblomI feel guilty giving Josh Lewins book a rating of only two stars; but I should have looked more carefully before I bought the book. I am a big Josh Lewin fan; and was disappointed when he left telecasting the Tigers with Kirk Gibson to join the Texas Rangers. I grabbed the book as soon as I saw his name as the author; and I thought I was going to read about Joshs baseball experiences and the making of trades during baseballs winter meetings. Instead; the book is about minor league teams auditioning audio tapes of prospective announcers looking for a minor league job at baseballs winter meetings in Nashville. Some information is also provided regarding team mascots. Had I looked at the books contents before I bought it; I would have put it back on the shelf. My rating of two stars is based on my interest level; not on the books quality. If you write another one on your baseball experiences; Josh; I will be sure to buy it; because I enjoy your work.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Entertaining look at getting into minor league baseballBy Joseph SieglerJosh Lewin is the regular play-by-play broadcaster for the Texas Rangers. This past fall; he put out a book called "Getting in the Game: Inside Baseballs Winter Meetings". This is the story of both the outside and inside of some folks trying to break into baseball to follow a dream. It deals with how some kids (and not kids) try to get broadcasting; mascot jobs; or just about anything with a minor league team.That sound boring? Its not. The book has a nice sense of humour about it; and theres some wonderfully funny stories about what goes on at these things (I loved the potato story a lot; as well as numerous others). Josh Lewin has a very entertaining way of broadcasting baseball games; and he seems to have tied up several stories regarding how to break in; how those who hire do the hiring; and the tribulations of some job seekers rushing all over themselves to get low paying or even no paying jobs; just to say they have a job in baseball.If theres one criticism of the book; its that I found it hard to follow sometimes where things were going. This isnt a fiction; so things arent going to always be neatly in a row - but I got confused sometimes as to who was who in terms of the job seekers. But thats a minor quibble; it might just be me not paying attention well enough.A nice bonus to me was some talk with Dave Raymond; the man who originated the Philly Phanatic character. As Im from Philadelphia; and grew up with the Phanatic; it was nice to hear some stuff from Mr. Raymond. Its not like hes the main crux of the book (far from it); but it was nice to see him pop up here.If you like to follow the inner workings of baseball; youre sure to love this book. If youre the kind of casual baseball fan who has trouble watching the game on TV; or when theyre at the park gets more worked up going for beer and hot dogs; this might not be for you; then.
