This is...Cheryl - you hit on so many great points.<br /><br />This is such a great read because it does not simply dwell on sports dates, statistics, etc. It's a sports story in so much as that is what Joe did for a living.<br /><br />You're right - for those who were not around to see Joe play during his time with the Yankees - Jerome brings him to life in a way that you can relate to him in terms of rooting for your current favorite players. What may have taken place in black & white, Jerome brings into color.<br /><br />Spot on review! :)Tribute Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959016294721462184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610315916146710519.post-41533860080115260652011-04-30T21:47:55.220-04:002011-04-30T21:47:55.220-04:00Glad you enjoyed the review.

I love the Joe and Marilyn story, too, but I am not one to pick up a purely sports-themed book. This one had the feel of a novel. Thanks so much for your "take" - we've posted it on our "sister" page: http://on.fb.me/JoeDiMaggioFacebookThe Secret Life of Emily Dickinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260869904904292715noreply@blogger.com
