Summary: Very well written, easy to read cover to cover.
Review: I found this to be an exceptional book. I personally am a big Kirk Gibson fan. I was able to learn alot about one of the most intense baseball players of the modern era. A great book for collectors or any sports fan in general

Summary: I can't believe what I just saw!
Review: Is what the excited announcer on TV repeated after Gibby limped to the plate and banged the greatest homer in Game 1 World Series history.

Gibby was obnoxious. He was cocky. But as he grew older, he became humble and even friendly. You can read about this epiphany in this book. Packed with great photos.

For anyone who saw Gibby play football at MSU -- single handedly beating Michigan in 1978 -- or charge his way around the basepaths at Tiger Stadium, there has to be admiration. He hit more clutch homeruns than anyone. He was a competitor, a leader and a winner.

Summary: WORST BASEBALL BOOK EVER WRITTEN??!!
Review: That reader from Chicago has got to be kidding!! Besides GIBSON admits in his younger days he was very obnoxious so whats the big secret?? The book reads extremely well even if your not a GIBSON fan.The book also shows that with DRIVE and DETERMINATION you can be a success in almost anything!! A great book for youngsters to read!!!Remember GIBSON wasn't a natural gifted athlete at baseball he excelled because he would not give up!!I wish the TIGERS had a whole team of GIBSONS!!Think of what a great country we would have if we had more people with GIBSONS attitude and drive to not give in to the BEAST of defeat!
