This book keeps its promise.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joe Dimaggio : The Promise (Hardcover)
Joe Carrieri takes you into the locker room. More importantly, he takes you into a young boy's heart and shows the reader how an unappraochable, at times, superstar can leave a lifelong impression on that heart. The author's approach keeps the reader on seat's edge, so that it is difficult to leave the next chapter for another day. Buy it, and you will learn life lessons worth infinitely more than the price of the book.

A Great Story,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joe Dimaggio : The Promise (Hardcover)
It was an absolute pleasure reading THE PROMISE. This book is about Joe DiMaggio, a truly great ball player, who kept his promise to a young bat boy. L.E. Davis, a customer from California, simply misses the point in his book review. Indeed, the author does not set forth DiMaggio's flaws and he shouldn't! He describes his experiences with the Yankee great. The REAL STORY is that Joe kept his promise to Joe. If your seeking to learn about his faults, read something else. But, who wants to ? Certainly not our children. Anyway, in DiMaggio's defense, last time I checked, only one man was perfect and He lived a long, long time ago. Mr. Carrieri I applaud your efforts and thanks for sharing your experience. I love the pictures!

LOVED THE COVER,
By A Customer
This review is from: Joe Dimaggio : The Promise (Hardcover)
The cover definitely grabs you. Joe DiMaggio has a "mystique" look to him. I truly enjoyed the book and would highly recommend it.
