The Zen of Zim : Baseballs, Beanballs, and Bosses

Rating:
Summary: Stories of Half a Century
Review: Don Zimmer has been active in professional baseball for longer than most of us have been alive. His experiences over these years form a story of how the sport has changed. It's no longer the close knit teams of friends that played ball together for years. It's changed. Now professional baseball is big money, really big money. the free agent system has turned the team into individual players each more concerned with his own contract than the team.

Don tells this story of change in a book of anecdotes, laughs, excitement and comedy. Did the sport change for the better? Well, yes and no. Like another book starts out: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." But with the season over, it's clearly time to do some reading.
