2.0 out of 5 stars OK - But not great., February 14, 2009
This book was kind of disappointing. It mainly focused on Mickey's years in the Minor Leagues. I was hoping and expecting to read more about Mickey's early life -- in elementary school, Jr. High, High School etc., but there was very little information on this. If you want to know about Mickey in the Minor Leagues this is a good book. If you want to know about his childhood -- not so much.

I was hoping for something a little more exciting. A really dry read.
