Reviews

“If baseball from a fan’s perspective is the answer to a lazy summer day, then Tales from the Dugout is the answer to lazy days the rest of the year…This memorable collection is the perfect antidote to rainouts and winter blues.”

“[Patrick Cullen] maintains the perfect breezy tone for a book of sports anecdotes.”

“Some hilarious, some heartwarming, all the anecdotes will be of interest to fans. Patrick Cullen adeptly conveys the diverse personalities that have shaped the game and woven it into the national fabric, from the fiery temper of Orioles manager Earl Weaver to the good-natured personality of Ken Griffey, Jr.”
