Editor's Review ★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

As a baseball fan, I've listened to my fair share of sports memoirs, but 'A View from My Seat' stands out. Rosamilia's storytelling is raw and unfiltered, like a late-night conversation with an old-timer in a smoky bar. He doesn't just tell you about the game; he makes you feel it. Purdy's narration is a perfect match, capturing Rosamilia's cadence and infusing it with a sense of urgency that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The pacing is excellent, with Rosamilia's anecdotes flowing seamlessly from one to the next. My only critique is that sometimes the transitions between stories could be smoother, but that's a minor quibble in an otherwise engaging listen. If you're looking for a fresh, unvarnished take on baseball, this is a home run.
