I am enjoying that aspect of this book Steve. It is a great read and so far half way thru so many interesting stories within a story if you know what I mean.
My impression on this book is that it is to inform folks of what the sport is about and deflect the negative crap spewed around by those uninformed. This quote from page 154 will shed some light on how I came about my opinion of it................................................ ...............................
