Wow!! An amazing role model!!

My family has been a fan of David Eckstein since when he played for the Anaheim Angels. We used to go to the games in Anaheim and after the games, go where the players come out to get in their cars. We would wait on the other side of the fence for autographs. Wouldn't you know, that David Eckstein would sign every time. My kids have several signed items from him. The other players would get in their cars and leave, while the kids would yell, " please, Mr. so and so, can you sign my..." David was always dedicated, willing and a gentleman. Again, there were other players that were also generous, but David did it all the time. I haven't read the book, but I just ordered it for my two sons, who love baseball and play on local teams. It is about time that our kids read about positive role models in sports. I am also looking forward to reading the book. Thanks for all the positive insight!!

Todays Stars

In todays sports world, a role model is sometimes hard to find. Steroids, wife beating, DUI, bar room fights, its all fair game. This kid plays hard fair basesball. Thats it. His personal story is touching, and I especially like the way it is written, he's talking to my 14 yr old son.

An Inspiring Read

What a wonderful story of a very loving family and the importance of becoming an organ donor!! This is truly one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. I highly recommend it.

Little Man, Big Heart

David Eckstein became my favorite player on the team before I ever new anything about him. I've never seen so much heart radiate from a person. You can look at him and tell there's a life story that needs to be told, this book does just that. It is inspiration for all ages, but excellant for the young who are trying to find themselves and need that extra boost of confidence. This is an excellant book! One that will be talked about for years.....

Happy again

I was very happy with the timing and delivery of my book. Thanks.
