Product Description
urt Schilling is one of the most feared pitchers in the game and has already won a World Series with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In high school, he was a star and believed success would come naturally in the majors as well. But after bouncing from one minor league organization to another, he finally realized that if he wanted to achieve his goal, he would have to change his work ethic. Schilling's story is an inspiration, reminding youngsters that talent doesn't mean anything without hard work to back it up.

Super Book...I'm Still Shocked! October 15, 2005
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is far better than the normal Matt Christopher offering, probably because Christopher is dead and Glenn Stout, the writer, did an excellent job.
The book traces Schilling from an infant to his triumphant outing in the 2004 World Series. It details his growth from a blue-haired multi-earring jerk into a responsible, charity-giving superstar. The candidness of the book was surprising in that it's a biography for children, and it makes the book very interesting.
I recommend this highly, for grown-ups and children. Especially anyone that hates the Yankees!
