From hard-working farm boy growing up in post-World War I Van Meter,
Iowa, to the youngest All-Star and longest-lived Hall of Famer,
sharp-witted Bob Feller distills nine decades of hard-earned
wisdom--gleaned from experiences both on and off the diamond--in his new
Little Blue Book of Baseball Wisdom, a sequel to his best-selling
Little Black Book of Baseball Wisdom. Feller writes tellingly of the
stars of his generation, but also shares the essential virtues which
made him so successful--life lessons he learned from his father, who,
eager to showcase his son's baseball talent, built a field of dreams on
their Iowa farm when Feller was still a teen, lessons he learned
fighting for his country in World War II, and lessons he learned
subsequent to his baseball career.
