Book Reviews of Who Is Baseball's Greatest Pitcher?
Book Review: The Perfect Book For Pitchers
Summary: 5 Stars
This great book by Jeff Kisseloff is loaded with stats from pastimers such as Nolan Ryan, Walter Johnson, Satchel Paige, Steve Carlton, (Let's go Lefty!) the great Cy Young, and others. Pitchers who still play are Greg Maddux, Pedro Martinez, Randy Johnson, and much, much more! In fact, there are mini biographies of 33 different pitchers!
This book not only mentions stats and a section of the pitcher's life, but it also states the superstitions and routines that pitchers had. You should read Eddie Plank's. His pitching routine is more annoying than Nomar Garciaparra's batting habit!
At the end of this book, Jeff Kisseloff describes how to figure out who is the best. He wonders about how Randy Johnson would do in the Dead Ball Era, and how Walter Johnson would do against today's competition. He tells you to "give him a call" about who you chose and why. I chose Steve Carlton. GO LEFTY!
By writing this 177-pager, Jeff Kisseloff (who still has his Sandy Koufax Scrapbook that he made when he was ten) definitely pitched a no-hitter!
