The Only Way I Know

Summary: Great for the fan but best for the young want to be athlete!
Review: This book shows the ordinary life of this talented and driven athlete. Should inspire and confirm that everyday effort and hard work makes for success. You will find Cal's boyhood stories and read about his entire family's passion for the game. The role model his father afforded him. There are stories about his wife and children and his genuine competitive spirit. I was struck by the ordinary upbringing and the seemingly level headedness that he has maintained throughout his success. I am a fortunate season ticket holder who attends many games. And I am always amazed at the class and level of integrity that Cal seems to possess. Even as a local and available to many reports on Cal at play and with charitable events, this book still offered an interesting read. You will also find a section of color personal photographs.

Summary: Good biography with poor editing
Review: To address the previous review, the authors do mention in a later chapter that Ted Williams indeed won the Triple Crown. This is an example of bad editing. The book feels conversational. While that is a good approach, the editors left in too many badly structured sentences that made for difficult reading at times. If you can wade through, it is a great biography of Cal in his (supposedly) own words.
