Maybe this book isn't as exciting as the tablesetters (yeah that's baseball jargon), that is, the two books that came before this one. And maybe having the very young Joe Tinker and Johnny Evers play in this game isn't as exciting as having the voluble Rube Waddell in the Louisville game in the previous book. But it's still a lot of fun and if you know anything about the Cubs (which the pro Chicago team will be known as in just a few short years after the time of this book) you will enjoy the subtle (or maybe not-so-subtle, if you're an adult) :) nods to their history, their fans, their future stadium and Chicago's quirky weather.
I knew about Tinker and Evers, of course, but wasn't previously familiar with Ed Reulbach, who also appears in this book as the hurler (pitcher) for the Chicago Nine.
This book ends on more of a cliffhanger than the first two did. I think I know where Ruby is, but I'm looking forward to reading on and finding out for sure.
