I was thinking of getting this book.."Ballet in the Dirt: The Golden Age of Baseball"; but saw the price and thought.. hmmm, is it worth it? Most likely Im going to purchase it.

Just wanted to get your thoughts on it.

(I saw it first through SI.com's short preview here:

Re: FAO: Baseball fans

Well $400.00 is a little steep for just a slipcased book. I don't see anywhere on there where it mentions that it's signed. Unless I missed it? From the preview though it looks interesting.

Re: FAO: Baseball fans

yeah, its on there somewhere about the signing... It is steep but a cool "collectible" for any baseball enthusiast.
