Notes: I've been on something of a biography kick this year, so I thought I'd wind down the year with some more biographies. This one is about a Hall-of-Fame baseball player who is from the region I have called home for nearly two decades now, so it should be interesting to see local and historical connections. Also, I actually met Mr. Slaughter at his house years and years ago before he passed.
Mini review: If you enjoy reading about baseball from about 1938 to 1960, this book could be for you. Seasons are mostly broken down into chapters with Enos Slaughter telling of plenty of games he played with the Cardinals, the Yankees, and other teams. Most of this book is just that, about the games, with some minor talk of personalities. Towards the end the book gets a little grumpy, but at this point Slaughter was an older man, and he had his opinions like anyone else.
