A Sportspage Documentary!

Mr. Kavanaugh does a fantastic job in memorializing the Big Train. While many biographies will tend to go into the intricacies of a man's private life, Jack Kavanaugh seems to only look into these areas when it would explain the on field actions of Johnson. "A Life" reads like a beautifully written column in the sportspage - the cold hard facts of the game with the eventful games highlighted. Futhermore, "A Life" does something else - it reminds that not all ballplayers were or are spoiled children with no sense of values or morals. I reccommend to all who hold a dear love of baseball and pitching.
