BULLDOG BITES

THIS IS ABOUT THE CAREER OF OREL HERSHISER, FORMER MAJOR LEAGUE PITCHER. MOST OF THE BOOK COVERS THE INCREDIBLE 1988 SEASON THAT OREL HAD. PITCHING 59 CONSECUTIVE SCORELESS, WINNING 23 REGULAR SEASON GAMES, CY YOUNG AWARD, AND ALSO POSTING 3 POST SEASON WINS TO HELP THE DODGERS CONQUER THE OAKLAND A'S IN THE WORLD SERIES. HE ALSO TELLS US OF HIS LIFE, FAMILY AND RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. I REMEMBER WHEN OREL CAME TO INDIANS LATE IN HIS CAREER AND HELPED THEM GET INTO 2 WORLD SERIES. I LIKED THIS BOOK AND SUGGEST IT FOR BASEBALL FANS AND CHRISTIANS.

Great book from the past that is still great today.

I was six years old when the Dodgers won the World Series in 1988, and when Hershiser's book came out, my parents bought it for me for Christmas. (I'm a lifelong Braves fan but always liked Orel as a pitcher). It was one of the first books I read all the way through on my own, and recently re-read it. The story of that season, and the story of how he became a major league pitcher, are a joy to read. Regardless of who 'your team' is, this book is a great read for any baseball fan.

Y HALLO THAR!!!!!

Best pic ever in TEH VESTI!!!! ITS TRUE 5 STARS

Out of the Blue

It was the best book I ever read. It was amazing the way he puts the book in order of how he became a major league pitcher. And it goes all the way up to his greatest day in baseball when he pitched a shutout in the 1988 world series against the dodgers. If you are looking for a good book on baseball or if you want to learn some good things about pitching, I would reccomend you getting the book "Out of the Blue".
