 | | This light, amiable look at the spring training camp of the Pittsburgh Pirates in Bradenton, Fla., in 1988, captures the spirit of this annual American renewal. |
 | | But the book is primarily a view of the spring training phenomenon, of the smaller, more intimate playing field, of the senior citizen spectators and even the umpires who, like the players, head south to hone their skills. |
 | | In 1987, the author made a trip to spring training to find out if all the myths about charming little towns and ballplayers everywhere were true. |
