Book Reviews of Catcher In The Wry
Book Review: Much funnier than Salinger's book
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw "Mr. Baseball" on Johnny Carson a long time ago. I'd never even heard of him before, but within a minute of taking his seat he had Johnny laughing hysterically, and he kept Johnny (and me) in stitches the whole time.
Bob himself is in stitches right now, it being just a few days since his heart surgery. I hope he made out OK.
In any case, this book relates some personal stories from Bob's life before, during, and after his illustrious baseball career. The chapter on Bob's first year with the Cards and the Bob Uecker Fan Club that got started that year is pretty straightforward (i.e., somewhat boring), but the rest of the book is simply hilarious.
Get well soon, Bob!
