4.0

It's amazing how a book can bring a person back to life, but that's precisely what this book did for me. I was a pretty big fan of Murcer as a broadcaster (particularly his jaunts on Old Timer's Day), and was absolutely heartbroken when he passed away of brain cancer a few years ago. It took me a little while to pick up his autobiography, but I'm so very glad I did. The book captures a vibrant, funny, smart, and genuinely nice guy as he navigates life in the major leagues. This book made me laugh out loud and burst into tears, and is definitely worth reading for all Yankee fans.
