Johnny Evers: A Baseball Life
"a long overdue biography of this baseball icon...nicely balances Evers's sports life with his personal one, painting a picture of an ordinary man at the turn of the 20th century with extraordinary athletic ability. This biography will be a good fit for all baseball collections."--Library Journal"You are allowed to get a look into the life of Evers and see what made him into the player and man that he was...a book that is both enjoyable and informative about one of the most talented and memorable players in Cubs history...you will not be disappointed in this book."--World Series  Dreaming (Chicago Cubs blog)“Johnny Evers in his day was simply considered a great baseball player,  the heart and soul of the great Chicago Cubs teams of the period, who  was entirely deserving of baseball’s highest accolades. In Dennis  Snelling’s new biography of “The Crab,” this basic truth about the  career of Johnny Evers comes through plainly and convincingly….  [Snelling] gives us the full measure of a player whom it is now possible  to properly appreciate.”—Spitball
