Book Reviews of Ted Williams: The Biography of an American Hero

Book Review: Great biography about great baseball player.
Summary: 4 Stars

Ted was one of my childhood heros. I wanted to know more about him, and this bio served that purpose well. It deals thoroughly with his baseball history, and less thoroughly with other parts of his life. For instance, I would have liked to know a lot more about his fishing trips. Nonetheless, this is a satisfying book, and I enjoyed the read very much.
