review 1: I really enjoyed this book, but you have to be a real baseball fan to read it. It was written by Bob Gibson and Reggie Jackson. A pitcher and a hitter. They talk about many different aspects of the game from their unique perspective. Its kind of in a conversation style - they write in response to what the other says. Its great. They also both talk about what it was like to be an African American ball player in the MLB. Gibson was in the League from 1959-1975. Jackson from 1967-1987. It wasn't easy and they both did what they had to do to be a successful ball player. And there was a different set of rules (unspoken) for blacks.A great book. I recommend it for any true baseball fan.
review 2: Rollicking good conversation between Reggie Jackson and Bob Gibson on t... morehe art of baseball. This book is tremendous fun - a couple all-stars swapping stories and perspectives. Don't expect to get a whole lot of strategic insights or deep analysis. Gibson's essential bad attitude shines through, and both of them make clear that, in their opinion, baseball players today aren't quite as great as the ones from years past. less
