A wonderful mix of the nostalgic and the modern, Redmond's compilation covers baseball from the first time she met Willie Mays in 1958 all the way up to the present with wit and chutzpah. Her prose is laced with her unmistakable point of view at every turn no matter how trivial or how important the subject. Full of bracing honesty and a hilariously sarcastic voice, Garlic Fries and Baseball takes advantage of Redmond's greatest attributes-her love of the game and having an opinion about everything-to deliver a wildly entertaining and insightful look at America's pastime.
FROM THE BACK COVER:
"This is a fantastic narrative as you can feel the enthusiasm Ronni has as a baseball fan with each written word. She captures the essence of what we try to do for every fan and customer that travels with us. Diamond Baseball Tours considered it a privilege to take Ronni and her family to the ballpark!" "Diamond" Dan Lindsey, Owner, Diamond Baseball Tours.
"Ronni's written a book that's great for the avid baseball lover, the casual fan, and those that are wondering what all the fuss is about! While her road trip forms the centerpiece of the book, she brings along the feel of a blog to the written page with her various essays. Definitely a book to pick up and enjoy!" Daniel Shoptaw, Author; C70 At The Bat. Founder; Baseball Bloggers Alliance
