Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I was hooked from the start by Marlin May's narration. His deep, resonant voice lends an air of gravitas to Emslie's story, making you feel like you're listening to a wise, old-timer recounting tales from a bygone era. The pacing is excellent, balancing the excitement of Emslie's playing days with the intrigue of his umpiring career. My only critique is that some of the technical baseball terms could have been explained a bit more for the uninitiated. But overall, Lion of the League is a home run, offering a unique perspective on baseball history that's both engaging and educational.
