Zimmer's baseball life has been a full one, and half a century of his stories makes for a bountiful book. - Allen St. John, New York Times Book Review. On every page, he is there to be appreciated for his journey as a player, manager, and coach for more than half a century as well as for his wisdom, his humor, and just being himself. - Dave Anderson, New York Times. Zimmer closes his book by saying, 'For a lifetime .235 hitter, I've had a hell of a life,' and on that score he is unassailable. One could add that for a lifetime .235 hitter, he's written a heck of a memoir. - Michael Prager, Boston Globe.For more than half a century, Don Zimmer has lived a baseball life, crossing paths with some of the game's most memorable people and events.
