Review: I like baseball, but am no one's idea of a major fan. I can't quote batting averages, I'm not sure which expansion team is in which league-I did like this book however.Jim Ksicnski had a fascinating career as the manager of the visitor's clubhouse of the Milwaukee Brewers.This is as much a piece of social history as it is a baseball memoir. How baseball players have changed over the years, how American men have changed over the years.This is an interesting, friendly book. Tom Flaherty's contributions are seamless, "Big Jim's" voice remains true.The book closes with several lists of fantasy ball teams.The raunchiest thing about the book is the title. It has nothing in it that a 12-14 year old baseball fan could not handle or comprehend.

Summary: A funny book
Review: If you're looking for entertaining baseball books, then this is the one for you. The author gives you and inside look at what baseball players do and say when they're in the clubhouse. There are several hilarious stories in here. Although the book's not as raunchy as some people might expect, it has its share of dirty moments. The male anatomy is mentioned more than a few times, and the best stories in the book deal with that part of the body. I won't go into specifics, but the Brewers had one heck of a kangaroo court one time when Big Jim was lucky enough to overhear the proceedings. There were a few mistakes in the book-for example, he says that George Brett retired after the '92 season when it was actually the '93 season, but overall it was a very entertaining book.

Review: The book I read was called Jocks and Socks by Jim Ksicinski and Tom Flaherty. It is about what goes on in baseball lockerooms told by former players like Hank Aaron and other former baseball players.
The book had some interesting things in it like how black player's back in the 60s 70s even the 80s were discriminated by teammates and coaches. Other things that happened in the lockerooms were that teammates sometimes beat up another teammate for costing them the game and what some coaches said to the players after they lost a game. The rest of the things that went on in this book you will just have to read and find out yourself.
The book was very interesting I learned a lot of information about what goes on in lockerooms of baseball players. The players were treated horrible when discriminated, it was horrible about some of the things that happened to them and the world would definitely be better without it.
