Product Description An inspiring memoir from a Red Sox hero and MVP of the 2007 World Series.
In 2007, Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell triumphed over a lifetime of adversity when he led the worlds most zealously followed baseball team to the promised land, with their second World Series title in four years. But there was much more to the story than what happened on that October night.
From his familys battle to escape Cuba and the Castro regime, to the ups and downs of his baseball career, to his battle with testicular cancer, this is the story of a man who overcame every challenge thrown at him to become one of the best third basemen in baseball and a true role model for his millions of fans.

Much more than just another baseball book September 1, 2008 I bought this expecting it to be worth reading, and was not disappointed in the least. I admire the way Mike Lowell approaches life and baseball, and, now I feel I know the "person behind the jersey" a little better. I enjoyed it, and will definitely reread it.
MIKE LOWELL COURAGEOUS MAN August 21, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In this book I found a man with character, integrity, honesty, modesty and strong faith and family values. A truly MVP in baseball and in the game of life. An inspirational book, a must read for the younger generation.

THIS BY FAR IS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF READING. FOR ANY TRUE RED SOX FAN, THIS BOOK IS A MUST READ. EVERYTIME I WATCH MY RED SOX PLAY AND MIKE IS UP TO BAT AND HE HAS TWO STRIKES - I WANT TO SAY TO HIM - REMEMBER WIFFLE BALL MIKE, WIFFLE BALL. READ THE BOOK AND YOU'LL UNDERSTAND!

I found this book very informative. It gave me a better understanding of just what people will do & go through to become who they were meant to be.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in looking beyond the glamour...
Both heartwarming and funny! July 18, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The book makes you truly admire Mike Lowell for everything he's accomplished on and off the field. There are moments, where he talks about his cancer diagnosis, and his concerns for his wife and his newborn daughter, and all of a sudden you're on the verge of tears. Then he cracks a joke about Terry "Tito" Francona or David Ortiz, and you find yourself laughing nonstop.
I don't get into books very often, but I thought this one was great!
