Players, Coaches, & Sportswriters have done it. Now it's the Beerman's turn - authoring the quintessential book on baseball from the bleachers, as seen through beer-stained glasses. The only book of its kind, A VIEW FROM THE STANDS--A SEASON WITH BOB THE BEERMAN, provides a completely different perspective on America's national pastime & its fans. It's an irreverent, anecdotal view of ballpark ongoings outside the foul lines, capturing baseball buffs in their natural setting. Their actions, thoughts, & comments are relayed through the eyes & ears of a person every baseball enthusiast relates to: the beerman. What they are afraid to share with their doctor, the ball fans tell the beerman. The beerman, an ex-Wall Streeter, becomes the ballpark psychiatrist, with the entire stadium as his couch. What interests people is not so much the dreams of slugging the winning home run as the dreams of just stepping into the batter's box. Baseball is the setting, but human nature, the joys & frustrations of everyday life, is the theme. A VIEW FROM THE STANDS is a humorous, light-hearted look at the spectacle of baseball.Beerman, Bob D. is the author of 'View from the Stands - a Season with Bob the Beerman' with ISBN 9780964034105 and ISBN 0964034107.
