From Booklist
How is it that Larry King remembers every detail about his first baseball glove, but Hall of Fame shortstop Ozzie Smith can't recall a thing about his? Such is the mystery of the baseball glove, a simple piece of sporting equipment that is both functional and, for reasons that are hard to pin down, often unforgettable. This handsome and smartly illustrated history of fielder's gloves is rich with information about and appreciation for the game. Lieberman explains how ballplayers were once thought unmanly if they used gloves to field thrown and batted balls and how big-leaguers vary in their approach to picking out and maintaining fielder's gloves; New York Yankee Derek Jeter opts for a new glove at the start of every season, but former Baltimore Oriole Brooks Robinson, probably the greatest defensive third baseman ever, would use his "until it was ragged." Lieberman's book does not require any intellectual heavy lifting, but with plenty of archival photos and a bundle of funny anecdotes, it gives readers an amiable way to welcome the new season.

Plays The Field
23. April 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
A well researched, written and needed book on one of baseball's fascinating subjects: the baseball glove. Liberman has touched all the bases and ... fingers on this
equipment topic.
My favorites and I'm sure many readers will find highly interesting, are the interviews with former and current major leaguers, the men who trusted and trust their living with this tool.
It's a fine catch for any baseball fan.

Glove Affairs - Loved The Book!!
17. April 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I must say upfront that I am not a glove collecter, so my perspective may be different from the other gentleman. However I am a true baseball fan. A big part of the enjoyment of baseball when you are young is getting your first baseball glove. For me, it started with an old hand-me -down fom my father - so seeing a lot of the old gloves and pictures of the great baseball stars was enjoyable. The bottom line is that this book lived up to the reason I bought it ... it was FUN to read for me. I am going to give it to my son to read and I think it would be an excellant book for all little league players as well. It is obvious that the author has a real passion for the baseball glove and wrote a book that reflected that. I especially enjoyed the stories, the ideosynchrasies of different professional players and the illustrations. I learned a lot of things about the baseball glove that I did not know. I highly recommend it.

Great Book, read it this weekend
31. März 2003
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is one of the most interesting baseball books I've read in a long time. Saw a positive review in the Tampa Tribune and so I bought it for my son, but I ended up reading it this weekend before he got to it! I never thought there was so much to know about the old glove...and the quotes are great. I'm not sure what Fuzzy's beef is about the pictures, because they're very vivid, they tell a great story. Lots of close-ups, plus action shots. I wish I still had my first glove now...
