A good autobiography of a great player. I got to seem him play at Candlestick Park once; what a privilege.

The book is OK and entertaining as far as it goes. Perhaps the most enlightening section is Mays' description of his childhood and of his early days playing in the Negro Leagues while still a teenager.
But too much of the book seems to have been written purely by Sahadi. Quite a bit of it is made up

of descriptions of one pennant race after another, with not enough personal observations or anecdotes to be really interesting. There are certainly some places where the book picks up and focuses in more closely on Mays and his memories, but not enough to make this a book particularly compelling. The new Mays book is getting some good press. Maybe I'll have to read that one, now. Show Less
