Summary: A gem of a book
Comment: Sports has obviously changed immensely over the past few generations. Players in the old days hid their injuries, never wanted to leave a game and never looked at the stats. Today it's a business as much as a game and very few people lived through the entire revolution that is modern day sports. Johnny VanderMeer is one of the few: he played with Ruth, played at a time when your celebrity status did not exempt you from going to war, played at a time when playing baseball was a game. Paul Lichtman chronicles the life and times of Mr. VanderMeer with a perfect mix of being a baseball fan, a traditionalist and a modern day realist. The book let's you know that Mr. VanderMeer had a lot more to him than a great week of baseball. A must read!

Summary: Unsung hero, but no longer forgotten
Comment: This was a very good book of a player who shined briefly and has done something I don't think any other pitcher will ever do again: 2 STRAIGHT no hitters!!! Not in todays me first, I'm underpayed league. Its nice to see a that the author hasn't forgotten, and I think alot of other people can really get something out of this, other than just "baseball" information. Maybe some of todays players should read this to see what the game is all about.
