I'm putting this post in the "Christian Interest" thread--the book probably has a lot of sports biography interest, but the book probably is more Christian-centered than anything. I haven't read or skimmed the book, however.

Christianbook has the lower price between them and Amazon (price $0.99), as they often do. As an experiment, I'm giving Christianbook a primary listing this time. Let me know how you like the change. If you're an ebook newbie, be aware that the fact that you are getting the ebook at Christianbook means that you are getting the ePub format.

Audiophiles may wish to know that, at Amazon, you can get the Whispersync audio companion for only $4.99. The total cost of ebook and Whispersync'd audiobook, then, is only $5.98 ($0.99 + $4.99).

As usual, my posting of this book does not necessarily mean that I endorse any doctrinal positions taken in the book.

Impact Player: Leaving a Lasting Legacy on the Field and Off. By Bobby Richardson; David Thomas. Rated 4 1/2 stars at Christianbook, from 10 reviews at the present moment.

Book Description (from Amazon)
Former Yankee Bobby Richardson played alongside Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford, Joe Pepitone, and Yogi Berra during one of the most prolific dynasties in baseball history, and he remains to this day the only player from the losing team ever to be named World Series MVP.

In Impact Player, Bobby shares his life story, including never-before-told tales from the Yankee clubhouse during the historic ’55-’65 pennant runs and World Series appearances. The book also features the unlikely friendship Richardson, a devout and outspoken Christian, shared with Yankee legend and renowned drinker and womanizer, Mickey Mantle.

The perfect combination of faith and baseball, Impact Player offers a rare glimpse into one of the most celebrated dynasties in the history of the game, and it paints a fascinating portrait of a life well-lived and the lasting rewards that come from knowing and loving God.
