5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic - baseball nostalgia!!, May 5, 1999

By A Customer

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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A trip through the 1960s, a good baseball book, June 18, 1999

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding account of the '64 season, December 27, 2007

By	Kevin A. Friedman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
