Nice Perspective from a down to earth guy

I was never a huge Colt or Lenny Moore fan just because I dont follow the team or it's past. However, Lenny did an excellent Job of discussing the risks of not completing College, discussing the disparity between Black and white athletes after their game playing days are over, and how he dealt with it. He is not the first to discuss the subtile rift in locker rooms between black and white football players in the 50's and 60's. However, this is the first book I read that talked about what the white players felt about how the black players were treated. Great book that flows smoothly without getting into the sex, drugs, and other excesses of pro football players.

A VERY ENJOYABLE READ

THIS IS THE STORY OF LENNY MOORE FORMER BALTIMORE COLT GREAT. THE MAJORITY OF THIS BOOK COVERS HIS CAREER WITH COLTS. INCLUDED ARE SOME STORIES ABOUT HIS JOHNNY U, WEEB, AND MANY MORE. SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS WERE THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF BIG DADDY AND LENNY'S THOUGHTS AND RELATIONSHIP WITH DON SHULA. LENNY ALSO COVERS HIS LIFE AFTER THE COLTS AND THE PREDJUDICE AGAINST BLACKS THAT WAS EVEN WORSE BACK IN THE 1950'S AND 60'S. LENNY HAS ENDURED ALOT OF PAIN IN HIS PRIVATE LIFE (DEATH OF 2 WIFES AND ONE OF HIS CHILDREN). BUT HE CONTINUES TO BE A CLASS ACT. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL COLT FANS WHO SAW LENNY PLAY.
