The book written by Mr. Tim McCarver, is a great book to read about some of the players who made a major contribution to the special summer of baseball which took place during the perfect season of 1998. He does a great job in useing diffrent players from diffrent teams to show how each one of the players from there respective teams each made a lasting impression on baseball during the year of 1998. The writter did a super job in picking diffrent players, and showing the reader how each one of the players he profiled made a contribution to the season of 1998. Also the book itself was very well written, and a joy to read. This book chould very well be read by any age reader, and in turn that reader whould enjoy this book. Super baseball reading at it's best.

 A wonderful re-telling of a wonderful season. June 19, 1999
The 1998 baseball season was so good that we have yet to fully appreciate it. That's why this book is so important -- in a vivid, exciting way we re-live that special season and come to fully appreciate it. Last year was an historic baseball season, and as time goes on this book will be even more vital as an eyewitness account by baseball's most perceptive broadcaster. After saying all that, the book was just a lot of fun and a good read.
How perfect it was! June 7, 1999
How would you feel if you had just become the Yankees' manager, when the man who hired you was George Steinbrenner, a man notorious for "putting the revolving door on managers?" He is famous for hiring and firing managers. That is what happened to Joe Torre in 1996, yet he is considered one of the best managers in baseball. Tim McCarver uncovers why Joe Torre is still the Yankees manager and much more in his great non-fiction book, The perfect season. McCarver's book recognizes some of the great achievements in 1998 that were not given attention, because of the home run chase and David Wells' perfect game. In the book, McCarver gets quite up close and personal when he talks about some of baseball's past heros, being a former ballplayer himself. At the end of the book, McCarver analyzes the playoffs and the key plays and mistakes in them. His book uncovers how great the 1998 baseball season really was.
