5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic - baseball nostalgia!!, May 5, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Johnny Callison Story (Hardcover)
Mr. John Sletten's biography of Mr. Callison is not your typical baseball 'fact' or 'stats' book. It is a truly marvelous story of a pre-million dollar contract player and his rise from poverty to MVP. Anyone with an interest in the 'old' baseball and its heros will love it!! Martin Brandise Fan

A trip through the 1960s, a good baseball book, June 18, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Johnny Callison Story (Hardcover)
I just purchased the new softback edition today. Great color photo of Johnny on the cover - 1964 style. I read the chapter "Callison for President" twice. It's a complete reliving of the 1964 season, which was my favorite even though we lost. The book takes us through the entire decade of the 60s, which brought back a lot of good memories for me. It's a must read book.

Outstanding account of the '64 season, December 27, 2007
This review is from: The Johnny Callison Story (Hardcover)
John Austin Sletten flawlessly presents Johnny Callison's achievements and human qualities in addition to the gut wrenching 1964 season events many Phillies fans will never forget. The author's style of writing is a joy to experience and this fan welcomes more of his writings in the future, especially a piece or two on EICOM.
