Thomas Boswell, longtime "Washington Post syndicated sports columnist, has been called "an astute observer of the human condition disguised as a first-rate sportswriter."

His three previous baseball collections have won wide praise across the country and sold close to two hundred thousand copies. In this latest book, Boswell has handpicked his best baseball pieces of the past five years to create a collection that will be must reading for fans across the country. These pieces, from "The Washington Post and national magazines, are arranged thematically so there is a narrative flow to the book and cover everything from Fay Vincent's ouster to Pete Rose's gambling to the Bo Jackson saga to the return of Steinbrenner. Another splendid gathering of smart, witty, beautifully written stories aboutt our national pastime, "Cracking The Show confirms that when it comes to baseball, Boswell is in a league by himself. It's a sure hit for the 1995 baseball season.
"Boswell...is the thinking person's writer about the thinking person's sport...inexhaustibly interesting and fun."--George Will
