About the Author
Cal Ripken, Jr., played twenty-one seasons with the Baltimore Orioles and has broken numerous baseball records, including Lou GehrigÂ’s record for consecutive games played (Ripken played 2,632). He is one of only eight players in history to achieve 400 home runs and 3,000 hits. His previous books include The Only Way I Know (which was a New York Times bestseller and a #1 Washington Post bestseller) and Play Baseball the Ripken Way: The Complete Illustrated Guide to Fundamentals (coauthored with his brother, Bill Ripken), also a national bestseller.
Donald T. Phillips is the bestselling author of major works of nonfiction, including Lincoln on Leadership and On the Wing of Speed. He has also collaborated on books with Mike Krzyzweski (Coach K of Duke University), Phil Mickelson, and Greg Norman.
From AudioFile
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.
