Why read it?
1 author picked Al Capone Does My Shirts as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
A perfect example of baseball books not about baseball. Yes, Moose loves the game, and the prisoners at Alcatraz play it.

I’ve read every one of the Al Capone books and it’s hard to pick a favorite, but this is the one that started it all. I can still quote the first sentence and I still laugh out loud. I am in total awe of her writing.
From Augusta's list on kids baseball books about more than baseball.
