Encyclopedic outlook with several interesting facts
It isn't often that I here a fact or a story about Paul Molitor that I don't already know.He was my hero when I first saw him play on my 7th birthday, and as I graduate with a Master's degree 20 years later, he isstill every bit the hero I remember.That is why it was such a nicesurprise to find several tidbits brought to light by Broomer that I hadnever been aware of.There is no question that Molitor is the last of adying breed of players who play the game the way it is meant to be played,and a review of his career from American Legion to his World Series MVPperformance would be interesting for any baseball fan.Broomer's writinghowever, lacks imagination.The text of the book reads like a laundry listof where Molitor played ball during his life, and is all too brieflyinterupted by short quotes from the people who knew Molitor at varioustimes during his life.I believer Broomer expended very little energywriting this book.However, any baseball fan would be excited to reviewthe evidence of Molly's dedication to baseball, and his class on and off ofthe field.For the true Molitor fan, there are several outstanding photosof Molitor in his Golden Gophers uniform and throughout his professionalcareer. ...
