5.0 out of 5 stars
An opportunity to meet the man who did it all in baseball.
As a baseball fan, if you have ever wondered what put the desire in Cal Jr. and the spark in Billy you will be pleasantly entertained as Larry Burke takes the low key wisdom of a baseball icon and makes it come alive from cover to cover. Every emotion is there as you read,"The Ripken Way". I was among the lucky ones. I heard it first hand from the master...

Dull, hackneyed cliches sum up this waste of time and money. I urge you to save both.

A waste of time,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Ripken Way: A Manual For Baseball and Life (Hardcover)
I am a Baltimore Orioles fan for life, and a huge fan of Cal Ripken Jr. However, this book is not only non-inspirational, it's a bland mix of tepid stories and one-sentence advice. Cal Ripken Sr. was a good man and a good Oriole, but this book is poorly written and a bore.

The Iron Man of baseball is hardly the Iron Man of literature, unless the measure is a mixture of iron and wooden sentences and the cold steel of reader boredom. There is little here to inspire or entertain anyone but the most hopeless of Ripken hero worshippers.
