Book Review: Forget This Book
Summary: 1 Stars
I am a Tiger fan and as a pre-teen was an avid Denny McLain fan. Since 1970 he has disappointed me. I could accept in his second book Strikeout that perhaps he was framed and was given a bad deal but by the second time he went to prison I can't believe it happened because he was framed. In this book as in the second book he writes as if he was an innocent victim and had to go to prison. The book is poorly written and his language is very crude. Couldn't Eli Zaret or whatever his name is edit the language a bit. I have found several contradictory things such as he mentioned he wasn't interested in pitching game six of the world series. I remember hearing on the radio that he was very eager to pitch the game. He also talks about having a kidney infection and was very sick during a doubleheader against California in 1965 and afterwards they flew to Minnesota where an ambulance was waiting to take him to the hospital. The doubleheader was played in Detroit and then Minnesota came in to play the next series--they didn't have to fly anywhere.
I was disappointed in this book and rather disgusted with the way it was written. Don't buy this book.
