Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Bob Feller is a true baseball icon. Along with such legends as Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Ted Williams, he is recognized as one of the greatest players of the twentieth century. In fact, he was voted the greatest right-handed pitcher in the history of baseball.
But Bob Feller is known for his quick wit as much as for his fastball. In Bob Feller's Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom, the sharp-tongued Hall of Famer offers philosophical, anecdotal, and candid reflections on baseball and everyday American life. In the process he introduces us to such legends as Jackie Robinson, Ralph Kiner, and Joe DiMaggio the way he knew them--as baseball rivals, fellow sportsmen, and good friends. Bob Feller's Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom is a treasure trove of down-to-earth advice for baseball fans of any generation.

This page-turning book acts as a great guide on how to throw curve balls, change-ups, knuckle balls, and even sinker balls. The wonderful, 1930's pitcher, Bob Feller also teaches you on how to just have fun and a good attitude. He's always talking on how he got from a hard farm-working boy that grew up in Van Meter, Iowa to an All-Star pitcher. The book starts off fast and easy enough to catch on. It's very exciting to read about his adventures on becoming a pro baseball player and all his amazing accomplishments as an All-Star pro. Overall I would suggest this book to kids and teens that are interested in baseball and it's pastime!

This is the greatest book ever! I got mine on New Year's Eve and was addicted to it from the very first page. It is the type of book that has everything that you want to know about him (Bob Feller) from growing up in Van Meter, Iwoa to WWII and what he learned in war . Everything like secrets to succes, pitching, life, it's even got humour in it! I met BOB FELLER at a baseball card show and he was pretty funny, friendly and very willing to talk about his incredible career. I recommend this book not only to Feller fans but baseball fans and those who just want a great book too. He tought me so much by reading his book, facts on him and alot of other player's too. This is the best book I ever read! Bob Feller is rated the greatest pitcher ever and if he didn't go in to serve his country during WWII, he could have won some 300+ games and struck out about 3,000+ batters! Thats what many people predicted he would have accomplished. He will surprize you and amaze you and you will never be bored again once you have the Bob Feller "Little Black Book" of Wisdom.

Bob Feller, one of the premier pitchers in the history of baseball, has never been one to sugarcoat his opinions. He is old-school: the good old days were the best. Today's players (and young people in general) don't appreciate how good they have it, or the sacrifices made by previous generations.
Such is the essence of his "Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom," in which he opines on the trouble with today's kids (too much TV, not enough physical exertion, among other complaints). The wisdom does not come in the form of advice, but rather what he has learned as a baseball legend.
Feller also writes about several of his contemporaries. To read his comments, one would think him a Will Rogers in knickers; he never met a player during his career that he didn't think was a "great" guy.
"Little Black Book" IS refreshing, however, given the concentration on the current game, with its quest to entertain its fans with more than just the game on the field.
