A wonderful biography and great discription of the times. Anyone with the slightest interest in baseball will enjoy this book. One of the good things about it is that it is not overburded with minor details. It captures the essences of the man,the times of his youth and his great, even though short, career.

Just as Koufax defied the norms of a media-driven culture, Leavy defies and exceeds the norms of sports biography."---Bob Costas
