Inspiration from an American Sports Hero

I purchased Johnny Bench's "Catch Every Ball" as a birthday gift for our son, after reading excepts published in our local newspaper, the Columbus Dispatch. The common-sense, down-to-earth approach to life's successes and challenges, outlined by someone whose opinion matters, was appealing. Our son like many others, looked up to Johnny Bench, since he also played baseball as a catcher during grade and high school years. The positive "can do" philosophy outlined in this enjoyable autobiogtaphy, is an inspiration to anyone who has played or ever heard of baseball.
