This review is from: Guidry (Paperback)

THIS IS THE STORY OF FORMER YANKEE RON GUIDRY. BETTER KNOWN AS LOUISIANA LIGHTNING, RON DOES A NICE JOB TELLING HIS STORY. THIS IS BOOK IS VERY SIMPLE AND EASY TO READ. TOO BAD HE DIDN'T SPEND MORE TIME ON HIS CAREER INSTEAD OF ON HIS FAMILY AND HUNTING. I ENJOYED HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS BROTHER WHO IS HANDICAPPED, THE MOST. RON SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY GOOD GUY WHO IS DOWN TO EARTH AND LIVES THE SIMPLE LIFE. I SEE RECENTLY HE WAS NAMED TO THE YANKEE PITCHING COACH, CONTINUED SUCCESS TO MR GUIDRY.
