My mother got this for me when it came out a couple months ago. If you're a baseball fan, which I'm not, then it's definitely something you should check into. There were a ton of baseball references that I didn't completely understand, and the dedication was to "anyone who has ever put on the gear," or something like that. It's really a short story, and I did enjoy it. It had a pleasant (pleasant meaning "semi-surprising," not "nice and feel-good," just to be clear) twist at the end. It (as well as the bonus story after it) contains another peek into human psychology, and I always enjoy looking at that stuff. Check it out. It's quite short and won't waste your time.
