Bob Engeman,
Fantastic book by Cleon Jones as told to Gary Kaschak。 Once started, you can't put the book down。 It is an easy read filled with many never before known facts about Cleon Jones, Mets #21 for the majority of his career。I thoroughly enjoyed learning about his numerous relationships with baseball greats, many from his hometown of Mobile, AL; his dealings with the Jim Crow laws of the South, not just as a youth but also after becoming a professional baseball player; his experiences in the minors and Fantastic book by Cleon Jones as told to Gary Kaschak。 Once started, you can't put the book down。 It is an easy read filled with many never before known facts about Cleon Jones, Mets #21 for the majority of his career。I thoroughly enjoyed learning about his numerous relationships with baseball greats, many from his hometown of Mobile, AL; his dealings with the Jim Crow laws of the South, not just as a youth but also after becoming a professional baseball player; his experiences in the minors and then in the pros, and all wrapped up with the wonderful things he is doing daily in Mobile or Africatown。As a lifelong Mets fan and more particularly a Cleon fan, I highly recommend the book and can't wait for the opportunity to have Cleon autograph my book。 。。。more
Jake,
Detailed storytelling from Jones and Kaschak。 This one reminded me a bit of Parker and Jordan’s, “Cobra,” and Kaschak did a great job telling the stories in Jones’s voice。
