Dinner with DiMaggio,
Coach Wooden and Me. … and more
By Harvey Frommer
All kinds of new sports
books. All kinds of interesting
reading. What follows if the pick of the pack. Enjoy
Dinner with DiMaggio by Richard
Sandomir (Hatchette Books, $26.00,
350
pages) is a bit overblown and repetitive which more careful editing
would have
fixed. There is also data on the Yankee Clipper that has appeared in
print
before. That being said, if you are of a certain age, this tome will
appeal to
you. Filled with gossip, opinion, stories, it worth spending a few
hours with. A GOOD READ
Coach Wooden and Me by
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar focuses in on his half century friendship with the
fabled
UCLA basketball coach. They first met in 1965 when Jabbar, then
18-year-old Lew
Alcindor, showed up at UCLA. The rest, as they say is the stuff of
legend in
basketball history as Jabbar led the way for the Bruins to cop three
NCAA
national championships.
This is a book to read and
savor and keep on your sports
bookshelf. It truly is an inside look at two legends and their special
relationship. Wooden was coach, mentor, friend, critic, father, all
things to
Jabbar who was a player and person who helped shape the legacy of his
great
coach. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
The Pride of the
Yankees by
Richard Sandomir (Hatchette Books, $27.00, 293 pages is the inside and
sometimes never told story of the making of the classic film about Lou
Gehrig,
Gary Cooper and so much more. Through the years I have gone back and
forth as to
which sports film ranks Number One.
I have always come back to
The Pride of the Yankees. This
terrific tome is filled with anecdotes galore, new information, elegant
writing
that matches Sandomir’s prodigious research. ONE THAT
BELONGS HIGH ON YOUR SPORTS BOOKSHELF
