Heart of a Mule: The Dick Schafrath Stories (Egyptian Edition)
Schafrath uses a simple, witty writing style that makes it seem like he’s right in the room talking to the reader . . . Any fan of the Buckeyes or Browns should enjoy hearing the standout former offensive lineman’s behind-the-scenes stories on the likes of Woody Hayes, Paul Brown and Jim Brown . . . There are several laugh-out-loud moments. (Aaron DorksenDaily Record20061031)Told in a friendly, conversational tone these varied stories are sure to delight and inspire, as they convey a rich life marked by rising to challenges. Highly recommended. (James A. CoxMidwest Book Review20070601)Schafrath tells his story with wit and grace, never striving to be more than what he was, and never building himself up by belittling anyone else. It’s all here, goofiness, warts and all. If you remember those halcyon days of the 60s and the last great football teams of Cleveland, you’ll enjoy reading this book. Even if you don’t remember, you’ll still enjoy it. He could easily have called it ‘from the outhouse to the White House’—a remarkable journey for one lifetime! (Kelly FerjutzCoolCleveland.com20070523)Schafrath is a hard-working, stubbornly determined man who never stops looking for a challenge. This message rings loud and clear in his book. (Kristy ZurbrickMadison Messenger20070219)Schafrath’s book captures the author’s amazing storytelling abilities. Heaven knows if we can believe that he actually bench-pressed two of the Beatles (he’s small), but the truth should never get in the way of a a good story, and Schafrath, former OSU Buckeye and Cleveland Browns player, adheres to that rule.
