Born to Play: My Life in the Game - Inspiring Sports Memoir for Athletes & Coaches | Perfect for Motivation & Training

I am fascinated by Dustin Pedroia as a player and discovered that I would really like him as a person. Although the book was not in good condition when I got it, it was obvious that the original owner really used the book a lot. It is well worth the time to read it if you are interested the experiences of a young man learning to play baseball and his experiences in trying to reach the major leagues. I am a baseball fan and have read several books about baseball and I consider this one a fine story. Each chapter is separated with a page or two of comments from people who knew Dusty during his rise to become the backbone of the Red Sox. He was given a long term contract with the Red Sox and has said that he will spend his entire career with them - like Derek Jeter with the Yankees. Dusty is always the first player to arrive for practice and for games, and he really enjoys the game. He and his wife and two sons live in Arizona in the winter so that he can work out and play baseball all winter, and they live in the Boston area in the summer. He really likes Boston and the Fenway Baseball Stadium.
