Product Description
For decades, Jack Brickhouse's unbridled "gee whiz" enthusiasm, combined with an old-fashioned work ethic and an unstoppable personality, has made him one of the most beloved figures in Chicago sports. Now, to coincide with Brickhouse's 80th birthday, Petterchak has written an authorized biography that spans the renowned broadcaster's 60-year career, from his humble beginnings to his 40-year reign as the voice of the Chicago Cubs. of photos.

Brickhouse himself is the only thing that saves this book January 9, 2003
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The only reason I gave this book three stars instead of one or two is Jack Brickhouse himself. Brickhouse in this book comes across as the wonderful man and broadcaster he was. Unfortunately, this book is poorly written. The author in three seperate chapters retells the same stories over again instead of introducing new material on Brickhouse, and I'm sure there is more to his life story than is presented in any one book. Additionally, while Brickhouse is one of the more colorful characters to ever broadcast baseball, the author of this book really doesn't present many interesting stories retold by Brickhouse of his days in broadcasting. This book unfortunately is forgettable because of its incredible need for a good editor.
