The voice is authentic, rich and honest. It flowed, kept my attention and was very interesting. I was taken aback by the revelation of the petty squabbles and intentional incitement among those in baseball. Big egos and big dollars are a bad combination. Mr. Martinez obviously deserves the accolades and Hall of Fame status. I have admired his skill, work ethic, clean living and generous community spirit. I pray he can help his proteges avoid some of the childish sensitivity revealed in the book. ( ) I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan, I love Pedro, and I think he was not only the best pitcher I ever saw, but probably the best ever. This was a tremendously fun read for me and helped me understand how Pedro felt under the glare of, and what motivated his reactions to, the Boston media. As a fan of the game, it's difficult negotiate that mediated relationship between the player and the fan through guys like Dan Shaughnessy, Peter Gammons, and the guys around the game who give us one perspective into the the players. If you're not a baseball fan, it's hard to imagine you'd have much interest in this book. But if you're reading this, there's a good chance you are a fan of either the game, the Red Sox, or Pedro himself -- if that's the case, I think you'll enjoy Pedro's wit, charm, mischieviousness, and perspective on his own life and career. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
