5.0 out of 5 stars An inspiration for dreamers and baseball lovers alike, July 9, 2008
By Libby (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews
Dugout Wisdom is a powerful collection of stories derived from our favorite baseball greats, sure to warm hearts and inspire dreamers. Dan Migala captures not only the untold stories of adversity and hardship encountered by the players, but the emotions felt and life lessons learned through their experiences.

Each player's story is brought to life in a way that makes you feel as if you were there, having a personal conversation with your favorite baseball hero. As a life-long Kirby Puckett fan it was special to read his last interview, hear him tell the story of himself as young player and learn the lesson his father taught him that led to success in baseball and in life.

Dugout Wisdom is a motivational read for both children and adults in pursuit of dreams on the field, in the classroom, in the professional world and in family life. Migala's book is an inspirational peice perfect for young athletes, brothers, fathers and all sports fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Read - You'll Enjoy It., July 9, 2008
By E. Fernandez (San Antonio, TX USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I read Dugout Wisdom on a flight from TX to New York. Really enjoyed the diversity of the stories and the life lessons from players both famous and not so famous. It's a really easy reach - each chapter is 2-3 pages and covers a different ballplayer. This allows you to get some great stories, lessons, and insights to these men I've admired for years. I highly recommend it to anyone who's a baseball fan, historian or wants to see the personal side of these great ballplayers.
