Summary: 5 Stars
IN TODAYS SOCIETY, IT IS TO EASY TO SIT BACK AND JUDGE A PERSON, WITHOUT GETTING TO KNOW THEM. DOES ANYONE REALLY KNOW THE REAL AL OLIVER? SPORTS WRITERS, AS WE KNOW THEM, ARE THE ONES WHO VOTE FOR ENTRANTS INTO THE HALL OF FAME....YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT THERE ARE NOT BIASED OPINIONS OUT THERE, AM I BIASED BECAUSE AL OLIVER IS MY BROTHER-IN-LAW? NOT ON YOUR LIFE...HE WAS AND IS A LEGEND LONG BEFORE I CAME IN TO THE FAMILY...BASEBALL'S BEST KEPT SECRET TELLS LIFE IN BASEBALL THE WAY IT TRULY IS. HAD AL NOT BEEN MADE TO LEAVE THE GAME HE TRULY LOVED, HE COULD AND WOULD HAVE MADE THE HALL OF FAME, AND IF YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, LOOK AT HIS STATS, THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELF. AL IS AN OUTSPOKEN MAN, WHO TALKED TO THE PRESS FREELY ABOUT HOW HE FELT HE SHOULD PLAY EVERY GAME, AND WHY NOT SPEAK UP, THAT'S WHAT HE WAS PAID TO DO, PLAY. IF YOU ARE A TRUE BASEBALL FAN, YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. I PERSONALLY HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN BY DIRECTING YOU TO THIS BOOK, ONLY TO LET YOU HAVE AN INSIGHT ON HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS, AND IT WORKS FOR THOSE WHO CAN AND WILL PULL STRINGS FOR SOME OF THE FAVORITES. FACTS, THAT'S WHAT STATS ARE ALL ABOUT....SEE FOR YOURSELF....AL OLIVER SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME!
