Inhaltsangabe
On the evening of March 28, 1956, Steve Garvey's father, a Greyhound bus driver in the Tampa Bay area, asked his young son if he'd like to accompany him as he drove the Brooklyn Dodgers to a spring-training game with the New York Yankees. For Garvey, a baseball card collector and an aspiring Little Leaguer, the opportunity stretched beyond his wildest imagination and marked the beginning of a legendary career and life in baseball.
Garvey spent five years (1956-1961) as a bat boy, mostly for the Brooklyn Dodgers and briefly for the New York Yankees and the Detroit Tigers. The fact that he would go on to become a first baseman with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and one of the most successful players of his era, is like something out of a Hollywood script. My Bat Boy Days is his moving collection of indelible memories, fascinating profiles, and lessons learned -- about the game and about life -- from heroes such as Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, and Mickey Mantle.
My Bat Boy Days is for the generation of fans who remember the Boys of Summer and for the generation who grew up watching Steve Garvey play for the love of the game. Garvey's story is perfect for sharing with children and grandchildren who are just now getting to know and love the game.

Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: fine. First edition. First edition, first printing. Fine, fresh unread copy in equally fine dust jacket. Hardcover. 149 pp. In late March, 1956, eight-year old Steve Garvey's father, a Greyhound bus driver in the Tampa area, asked his son if he'd like to ride along as he drove the Brooklyn Dodgers to a spring training game with the New York Yankees. Garvey wound up spending five years (1956-61) as a batboy, mostly for the Brooklyn Dodgers but also for the Yankees and the Tigers during spring training. Garvey, of course, would go on to star for the Los Angeles Dodgers as an All Star first baseman. In this memoir, he recalls the leadership of Pee Wee Reese, the pasison of Jackie Robinson , Gil Hodges' dignity, Roy Campanella's compassion , Mickey Mantle's fortitude, among others.
