The book From Peanuts to the Pressbox is the story of Eli Gold by Eli Gold, and his journey from his vending job to his job in the press box. Throughout the book, Gold tells all of his stories, experiences, and jobs he goes through to get to where he is today.
Gold does a good job at making it seem as if he is just telling you a very long narrative of his life right to your face. However, I found this rather annoying throughout the book. There seemed to be a lot of unnecessary stories throughout the book. He wrote as if he was excited throughout, and that made it a little better.
If you are looking for a book to read because you are bored, I do not recommend this book. I would really only recommend this book to someone if they are either an Eli Gold fan, or are looking into going into a sportscaster career. I would give it a 2.5/5 to the average reader and a 3.5/5 for anyone who likes sportscasting. If you are perhaps an Eli Gold fan, and want to go into sportscasting perhaps it would get a 4/5.
