Living on the Black: Two Pitchers, Two Teams, One Season to Remember Audiobook

" Throughly enjoying reading about the 07 Yanks and Mets and what Glavine and Mussina encountered as they pitched last season "

" Interesting enough book for anyone who likes baseball. Otherwise I do not recommend it. Some fascinating insights given what happened to Mussina/Glavine and the Yankees/Mets in 2007 and the backstory of Mussina's and Glavine's careers was interesting as well. The middle of the book did get somewhat repetitive however, much like a baseball season itself does. I would have appreciated more insight into what these guys do with so much downtime rather than going through every start and whether they won or lost, which they typically attributed to an ump's tiny strike zone if they lost. "

" Another very good baseball book. I have a new liking toward Mussina after reading this. His sarcasm is great. There is one huge factual error in this that really annoyed me. Late in the book they mention how heading into that final week or so of the 2007 NL East Race that the Mets and WASHINGTON were tied for first. I mean come on... Usually that stuff doesn't bother me, but how could no one catch that. Overall though a great book. "

" Holy crap, I SO love baseball. I wish Seattle would get a professional team again. If you know what I mean. "

" Great Book ! about the 2007 Season and how these veterens come through the ups and downs of it . "

" I like this one because it was about baseball and the Atlanta Braves. Great book "

" My only gripe about this book is that it is massive--I mean, 580 pages, really? But it was so well written that I can't complain too much. I didn't think I'd like this book as much as I did. "

" A very indepth look at pitching in the major leagues! I learned alot! "

" Sportwriting is easy to enjoy and I like both of the players but there just wasn't enough of story for this book to go 500+ pages. I don't think there was enough material for 200 pages. "

" A book for the serious baseball fan. Very detailed account of two old war horses in the twilight of their career's. Well done. "

" inside stuff on two modern day pitching legends. Mike Mussina of the Yankees and Tom Glavine of then of the Mets. Feinstein style always gives a reader some good inside stuff on the sport he writes "

" I enjoyed this book as it details two different pitchers with very different expectations placed on them. "

" One of my favorite pitching books. Made me really appreciate Mussina where I hadn't before. "

" Being a Yankee fan, I enjoyed this book. I think only die-hard baseball fans and Yankee and Mets fans would enjoy reading this book. "

" I liked the insight into pitchers mentallity etc. Toward end after Glavine got the 300th I lost some interest as it became more dates and scores. But good. Feinstein does a good job. Son got this for me at the dollar store for Christams. great gift! "

" Stopped reading. Best stuff was before the season started. "

" It was entertaining but not as in-depth as I had hoped. It is written for the general sports fan, rather than the hard-core baseball fan looking for insight into pitching strategies. "

" Feinstein delves into major league pitching and pitchers. Nobody gets to the heart and meat of a sport like he does. "

" NF - good for clsrm lib. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this account of two pitchers during one baseball season. Learned a lot "

" A parallel story about the 2007 seasons of Yankee pitcher Mike Mussina and Met pitcher Tom Glavine. A really interesting insider perspective of the two players - a little longer than I needed, but still a pretty decent read all things considered. If you like baseball, you’ll like this, I think. "

" A classic John Feinstein book. Great for baseball fans, regardless of your favorite team, allows the reader to get in the mind of a major league pitcher. It's a position that is as much mental as it is physical. "
