An interesting take on a memoir: the author tells his life story through baseball cards. Each "chapter" begins with a baseball card and will give information about the card/team/player(s), but will also include an anecdote about the author's life. For instance, one chapter starts with the Rick and Paul Reuschel, brothers who pitched for the Cubs. That chapter is about the author's relationship with his brother. You don't need to know a lot about baseball to understand this book. In all, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't the best thing I've ever read.
