Bob Feller's Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom

Rating:
Summary: Feller still throwing heat
Review: Bob Feller, one of the premier pitchers in the history of baseball, has never been one to sugarcoat his opinions. He is old-school: the good old days were the best. Today's players (and young people in general) don't appreciate how good they have it, or the sacrifices made by previous generations.

Such is the essence of his "Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom," in which he opines on the trouble with today's kids (too much TV, not enough physical exertion, among other complaints). The wisdom does not come in the form of advice, but rather what he has learned as a baseball legend.

Feller also writes about several of his contemporaries. To read his comments, one would think him a Will Rogers in knickers; he never met a player during his career that he didn't think was a "great" guy.

"Little Black Book" IS refreshing, however, given the concentration on the current game, with its quest to entertain its fans with more than just the game on the field.

Summary: Pick this up and you won't want to put it down!
Review: This is the greatest book ever! I got mine on New Year's Eve and was addicted to it from the first page. It is the type of book that has everything that you want to know about him (Bob Feller) from growing up in Van Meter, Iwoa to WWII and what he learned in war . Everything like secrets to succes, pitching, life, it's even got humor in it! I met BOB FELLER at a baseball card show and he was pretty funny, friendly and very willing to talk about his incredible career. I recommend this book not only to Feller fans but baseball fans and those who just want a great book too. He tought me so much by reading his book, facts on him and alot of other player's too. This is the best book I ever read! Bob Feller is rated the greatest pitcher ever and if he didn't go in to serve his country during WWII, he could have won some 300+ games and struck out about 3,000+ batters! Thats what many people predicted he would have accomplished. He will surprize you and amaze you and you will never be bored again once you have the Bob Feller "Little Black Book" of Wisdom.
