say hey hey hey

This book is a great autobiography about a great black baseball player that ever played the game. This story will tell you about how he grew up in broyklen playing stickball in the streets with all of his friends. When this great ball player got his chance to play baseball for money he took it. He first started out in the Negro leagues for the New York giant's minor league team and then he finally got his chance to play in the bigs and play centerfield and right field because the rightfeilder was really slow so the coach had him playing two positions. When he went up to the bigs, he really helped there team go all the way to the World Series to play against the Indians. The giants swept the Indians in three straight games and took the pennit.I would recommend this book to anybody out there who loves the game of baseball.
