Book Reviews of An American Journey: My Life on the Field, in the Air, and on the Air
Book Review: Jerry Coleman: A Real American Hero
Summary: 5 Stars
Former Yankee Jerry Coleman recalls his playing days: second baseman played his entire nine-year career in New York and appeared in six World Series.(Turn ... An article from: Baseball Digest
Great Read! Jerry is true example of what real heros are made of. How many players would unselfishly leave the game not once, but two times to serve their country in combat? This is the stuff Pat Tillman was made of. Jerry is a great guy! You never hear him speak of any of this unless asked. He is a San Diego treasure.
Summary of An American Journey: My Life on the Field, in the Air, and on the Air
The second baseman on some of the greatest teams in baseball history and a six-time World Series champion. A highly decorated Marine Corps dive-bomber and fighter pilot who served during both World War II and the Korean War. A major league manager. A Hall of Fame broadcaster with more than four decades of experience. Had Jerry Coleman been just one of these things, his life would still be remarkable. The fact that he is all of them has made him a legend to millions of baseball fans across the country. In An American Journey, Coleman, along with The New York Times's Richard Goldstein, writes for the first time about the family violence and hardship he endured as a child, his memories of serving in two armed conflicts, and what it was like playing with Yogi, Mickey, and DiMaggio. Coleman is also unflinchingly honest about his short managing career and provides a behind-the-scenes look at his many years in the broadcast booth. An American Journey is an inspiring, enlightening, and often humorous look back at the life of one of the game's greatest treasures. As Coleman himself might say, "You can hang a star on that!"General Books
