Quotes

"Leavy has hit it out of the park. . . . A lot more than a biography. It's a consideration of how we create our heroes, and how this hero's self perception distinguishes him from nearly every other great athlete in living memory. . . . A remarkably rich portrait."


- Time magazine on Sandy Koufax
"A must read. . . . A baseball classic; the first in-depth reporting on the life and career of the aloof Dodger icon."


- New York Daily News on Sandy Koufax
"An absorbing book, beautifully written."


- Wall Street Journal on Sandy Koufax
"A perfect game of a book. . . . Jane Leavy scatters the clouds of mythology to show us, after all these years, the man Koufax."


- The Sporting News
"An exhaustively researched study that paints an intriguing portrait of the famously reclusive Dodger pitcher."


- Sports Illustrated
"Candid, compassionate...the best of the Mantle biographies."


- Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"With storytelling bravado and fresh research...[in] Leavy's hands, the life of Mantle no longer defies logic."


- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A masterpiece of sports biography."
