A quick read, but still pretty good! The first part is a fairly detailed look at the "art" of pitching, which should appeal to anyone interested in that position! And the second is about Orel, and specifically the 1988 season, a season no Dodger fan will ever forget! The book appears to have been written not to long after the World Series, so his memories of the playoffs and Series are really detailed! And the photos included in here are pretty cool too! This is mostly for Dodger fans, but like I said, fans of pitching will enjoy this too! Luv ya Bulldog! And thank you!!!… (meer)

Short memoir of Dodger pitcher Hershiser culminating in the 1988 World Series victory. This was the last time the Dodgers have been World Champions in 22 years (as of 2010). This book is unusual since Hershiser uses it to testify to his christian faith which he credits for his success in addition to his wife's support. What Hershiser accomplished that year individually was historic in baseball terms. Cy Young winner, NLC MVP, Series MVP, Hall of Fame note, all despite the loss of Fernando Valenzuela to injury. The book, several times, gets too detailed recounting certain innings of games but overall it is worth the time for a christian man, baseball fan, or both. 6 pages of color photos, glossary, statistics.… (meer)

This was one of the first books I ever read. I remember it being okay when I was a huge baseball fan. I probably wouldn't pick it up now, though.
