Book Log 2014 #12: The 34 Ton Bat by Steve Rushin

Highly entertaining look at the objects that surround the national pastime, from the equipment to stadium features to what you eat and drink at the ballpark. I do wish some of the later chapters were a little less chronologically-oriented (in my memory, these chapters more or less tell the story of how the item became linked to baseball rather than looking at specific objects or people). The author's personal connection to the theme - he used to work in Metropolitan Stadium, where the Twins played before moving to the Metrodome - gave me another way to connect to the book. Recommended.
