I really always feel bad when I give a book less than 3 stars. I mean, I know that is ridiculous. But I just feel like I could never write a book that could be published and so who am I to give someone a less than 3, you know? And sometimes books just aren't my cup of tea and that doesn't make them less-than-4 worthy. But Baseball Genius was a 3 until the end. It just ended way too fast for me, you know? It was chopped off.
I saw Tim Green and Derek Jeter on the CBS Mornings News promoting the book and so that is why I bought it. Tim Green has a whole bunch of books and I really enjoyed Football Genius. Derek Jeter has written some kids books, too. But I have not read those. I will have to see what they are like!
What's Going On Here?
There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.
