An interesting "behind the scenes" look

This book is a fun read about a first year Major League Baseball franchise. After a brief discription pertaining to the history of baseball in Denver, the book details the day to day revere of a unique franchise. It was interesting to see, not only what it takes for a City to petition MLB for an expansion team but the day to day operations involved with playing 81 home games a year. From the front office to the stadium, to the dugout, any baseball fan will find this book intriguing.
