This review is from: Jeter: Hero in Pinstripes (Hardcover)

For the first time since reviewing books from Sports Publishing Inc. I was disappointed with the overall writing of a book. This book is a compilation of pictures and quotes of a rising superstar in the world of Major League baseball.

While the book is filled with dozens of photos and some of the chapters are interesting, for the most part the book lacks any real story line. The book does not talk about the career of Derek Jeter nor the authors examine Jeter in comparison with other great shortstops of the past.

The book would make a great gift to a true New York Yankee fan but true baseball purists will find this book sorely lacking any real value. The price is $24.95 and for the money you get very little.

Overall you could and can spend your dollars more wisely on other baseball or sports books. Sports Publishing has a great website and if you spend a few minutes there you will find a whole host of sports treasures.

This review is from: Jeter: Hero in Pinstripes (Hardcover)

This book is full of pictures and stories that are interesting; stories about his signing out of high school; pictures and highlights of outstanding plays in his years with the Yankees who have won three series since he arrived.
