Little League Confidential: One Coach's Completely Unauthorized Tale of Suvival by Bill Geist, Hardcover

Near perfect.

Synopsis:

A Little League coach offers a humorous insider's view of wily coaches, protective parents, and the kids who do their best just to play the game. 

Review:

Journalist Bill Geist, who is familiar to viewers of the CBS Evening News, used to be a Little League coach in New Jersey. And he somehow lived to tell about it. When first published in 1992, Little League Confidential assumed cult status as a baseball classic, though some just considered it one very funny book. Geist reveals the ups and downs (well, mostly downs) of coaching a team sponsored by a local beauty salon. His portraits of players and parents and his thoughts on competition in small town New Jersey are heartfelt and hilarious.
