Cal Ripken, Jr.: My Story

I bought this book for my first grader. He plays baseball and he was able to read the book and enjoy it!

I believe that Cal Ripken Jr. was one of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game. I think that the novel, "Cal Ripken, Jr. My Story" by Cal Ripken Jr. and Mike Bryan, gives a great idea of the hardwork that Cal Ripken Jr. put in to become a Major League Baseball player. This novel was a great book and I would recommend it to anyone. I thought the book was great because the book gave a very realistic view of how hard it is to make to the Major league. Plus it showed how dedicated Cal was. He spent many years in the minors before he finally made it to the majors. Plus I also like how the book didn't concentrate on Cal's baseball career. They talked about his childhood and how their father, who was coach of the Orioles at one point, wasn't around most of the time. Overall the book gave a great biography of Cal Ripken Jr. and that is why I think the book is good.

This is one of my favorite books! I love it! Especially because it's an autobiography. I love reading them. That's right folks! Cal Ripken Jr., and one of his friends wrote this book! I don't know why it isn't a best-selling book. Anyway, this book is very factual. I was just begining to become a Cal Ripken Jr. fan, and thought that this would be a great place to start! It covers his whole life up until 1999, which is when the book was published. Cal Ripken Jr.'s life had many ups and downs. I enjoyed reading this book very much! Thhis book is a must for any Baseball, Orioles, or Cal Ripken Jr. fan! I wish I could have given this book a million stars. After I read this book, I had just one thing to say. CAL RIPKEN JUNIOR IS A STAR!
