The Wax Pack
The Wax Pack: On the Open Road in Search of Baseball’s Afterlife by Brad Balukjian 3 Stars I was disappointed in The Wax Pack . It wasn’t that the book was bad; it was enjoyable enough. It’s just that I expected something very different, and something that I think would have been considerably more. The concept grabbed me as soon as I saw the book for the first time: open an old pack of baseball cards and then track down the players pictured to find out what their lives after baseball have been like. Unfortunately, there was far too much of the author’s own story and far too little of the players’ stories for my taste. There really wasn’t anything about Brad Balukjian that I was particularly interested in, but I really wanted to know a lot more about the players he managed to meet. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/51312349-the-wax-pack
