 Unreadable book for autographs only. September 5, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This biography of Cal Ripken was written to sell, not to read. The book rambles around and around and goes nowhere. Stories are unfinished, and insight that could be given by Cal on his great career is missing. A book to get an autograph on, but don't waste your time opening it. Watch a ball game instead. If I were Cal I'd be ashamed this book was published with my support.
Good biography with poor editing August 7, 1998
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
To address the previous review, the authors do mention in a later chapter that Ted Williams indeed won the Triple Crown. This is an example of bad editing. The book feels conversational. While that is a good approach, the editors left in too many badly structured sentences that made for difficult reading at times. If you can wade through, it is a great biography of Cal in his (supposedly) own words.
 A Must Read For All Baseball Fans August 6, 1998
This book details Cal's Life. The Information is great and so is the book.
 Somewhat interesting but the facts are wrong November 1, 1997
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In this book the author states that Frank Robinson and Carl Yastremski were the only players to win the Triple crown. If I'm not wrong, I believe that Mickey Mantle and Ted Williams also were triple crown winners. He also says that Davey Johnson won the World Series as manager of the Cincinnati Reds. This is also wrong. Can someone explain this to me.
Inside the mind of a baseball great July 9, 1997
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Growing up in Baltimore, I can't recall watching an O's game without Ripken in the lineup. If you've ever wondered how Cal thinks and treats the game of baseball, you'll enjoy this book. Ripken reveals how he analyzes players and systems, how he treats "the streak", how he deals with a slump, and how he views life in general. The book won't change your life, but if you're a Ripken fan, an Orioles fan, or just a baseball fan, you'll enjoy it
