5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Book
As a lifelong Yankee fan and an avid reader of sports biographies, Mr. Coverdale's Whitey Ford ranks number one in my book. Meticulously researched and consequently bereft of the inaccuracies which mar so many sport biographies, the book fully captures the excitement and mystique of the Yankee glory years in the 1950's and 60's.

Mr. Coverdale may be the most accurate baseball biographer, but he ranks among the driest. This book details about every start Ford ever made as a major leaguer.

This review is from: Whitey Ford (Paperback)
Mr. Coverdale may be the most accurate baseball biographer, but he ranks among the driest. This book details about every start Ford ever made as a major leaguer. It's like a set of 460 box scores made into prose. What it lacks is any description of Whitey's private life after he became a Yankee, including the fun times with Mickey. The most famous stories are repeated in brief: the Copacabana incident, the Phil Linz harmonica strife, and Whitey's late career scuffing of the ball. But seek in vain for a "life" story here. And the book abruptly ends with Whitey's retirement. If you like Whitey, as I do, even though I'm not a Yankee fan, you want to know more about him. Has he been happy these last 39 years?
