Title: Most Over-Rated Book of the Year
Review: Not your typical sports book, not written for hardcore baseball fans.I can't believe that this book is on the best seller list.Oh what a disappointment.I learned very little about Koufax by reading this book, except that Koufax wrote his own autobiography and that he didn't coorperate with the writer of this book.This book full of gushing quotes telling you how great Koufax was, but you never get a feel for the man. I found all of the lavish praise to be boring.This book also includes much too much social commentary/histroy by the author that doesn't really belong in a 'sports' book.The long lists of celebrity name dropping, Milton Berle, etc. also adds NOTHING to the book; as well as the references to names that must be a who's-who in Jewish America - names that most people who aren't Jewish & don't live in New York - have never heard of.Don't waste you time on this one.
