Incredible story that I could not stop reading. This book will be an inspiration to anyone who picks it up. Josh is a rare commodity in baseball, not just because he has "Mickey Mantle talent," but also because he is not afraid to put himself out there for all the world to see and judge.

Customer Review:
I didn't realize this book was only about 100 pages long. In some ways, it seemed like it might be targeted more towards young adults, with a fair amount of pictures. In general, I am a big fan of michael lewis and will certainly share it with my friends who are also fans, but don't necessarily... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Tim Kurkjian had a name and face I recognized from a few appearances on ESPN but I really didn't know much about him until this book. Now, if I hear Kurkjian is going to be on shortly to talk baseball, I keep the channel where it is because I don't want to miss what he has to say. Suddenly, he was... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

As with David Maraniss' excellent bio of Vince Lombardi, the most appealing parts are that which cover off the field, hitting the life and times and getting into the character of the athlete. And in Lombardi and Clemente, we learn about two intense men. Maraniss gets into baseball to a satisfactory... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | The Last Night of the Yankee Dynasty: The Game, the Team, and the Cost of Greatness
from Ecco
Customer Review:
This book is a worthy companion to David Halberstam's excellent "October 1964", another book about the decline of another Yankee dynasty.

I am not a big sports fan, but I was very moved by this book. It actually creates the experience of that last game. The photos are amazing and the book is first class in its design and presentation. I was surprises to find out how little it was selling for. This book is a piece of art. | 5.0 / 5.0
