Don Baylor: Nothing but the Truth : A Baseball Life

Rating:
Summary: This dude is IN LOVE with himself
Review: I actually enjoyed reading this book, don't get me wrong. But...this guy does nothing but tell us how great he is. It's ironic he does a chapter on the ego of Reggie Jackson, and then spends the rest of the book talking about how his nickname is GROOVE and he is the greatest. He did this, he did that. It's unbelievable. Hey Don, get that ego in check please. It's ironic that everytime something happens, it was because of Don Baylor. But better yet, they lose the 1979 playoffs because a mediocre pitcher like Dave Barr is injured. Please, that's like saying the the Braves lost the playoffs because Ozzie Guillen was out. And Mr. Baylor, according to Maury Wills' book, you were messing around with Wills' woman. Is this true? It seemed to be missing in the book. Well Groove, yes or no?

Summary: Hogwash. Nothing but the truth is several lies instead
Review: I grew up in Austin with Don Baylor and this book is a total fabrication of life in Austin written to make Don Baylor look good. He never bought his parents a house. He only leased them one.

Summary: AN OK READ
Review: THIS IS A STORY ABOUT DON BAYLOR WHO PLAYED FOR A VARIETY OF TEAMS IN THE 70'S AND 80'S. A RARE COMBO OF SPEED AND POWER. I ENJOYED THIS AND RECOMMED IT FOR FANS OF THE ORIOLES, ANGELS, AND YANKEES. IT MAKES A SOME INTERESTING INSIGHTS AND FACTS. NOTHING GREAT BUT A SOLID STORY.
