Reviews

The record holder for consecutive baseball games played reads a heartfelt memoir and lesson on consistency and perseverance. Playing for his hometown team, the Baltimore Orioles, throughout his whole career, and being a tireless advocate for youth baseball, as well, Ripken comes across as the good guy he is. He does a consistent and respectable job of narrating his story. His insights on life and work are not revolutionary, but theyre written with detail and delivered with a vocal weightiness unique to him. Wholesome stories from his family life and career are perfectly crafted and paced to make his points. A moving lesson for any listener, baseball fan or not.
