*When i read the 1st page of the book i thought the topic had switched and was going to be about baseball and discrimination on black baseball players.
*I liked how Reggie Jackson cried in front of the cameras when people usually think that men crying is a sign of weakness.
*I didn't like how when i went past the 1st almost 20 pages and it was still talking about baseball when the book was suppose to be about music.
