BART "brims over with examples of Bart Giamatti's eloquence. It contains, as well, quotations about Giamatti from his colleagues in both academia and baseball, and from people familiar with his life from his earliest days growing up in Holyoke, Massachusetts, where Dante and baseball were topics of conversation around the family dinner table. BART contains a wealth of images associated with Giamatti's life ranging from a photograph of the gas station where Holyoke men and boys gathered to listen to the Red Sox games to a sampling of Italian art works and photography associated with his scholarly pursuits...a deft and balanced selection."--Yale Magazine, 1991 "A wonderful read."--Larry King, USA Today "This book...is a celebration of baseball as an essential fiber of Americana. It is inspirational, thought-provoking and unique."--The Arizona Daily Star, 1991 "Exquisite and elegant."--Yankee Magazine
