Customer Reviews

An opportunity to meet the man who did it all in baseball.

As a baseball fan, if you have ever wondered what put the desire in Cal Jr. and the spark in Billy you will be pleasantly entertained as Larry Burke takes the low key wisdom of a baseball icon and makes it come alive from cover to cover. Every emotion is there as you read,"The Ripken Way". I was among the lucky ones. I heard it first hand from the master himself. James V McMahan Jr. President, The Ripken Museum, Aberdeen, Md
