"Bernie Williams' ability to play major league baseball at a high level was directly influenced by his musical training. Through a series of conversations, narratives, and sidebars, the authors - Bernie Williams, Dave Gluck, and Bob Thompson - discover and reveal the influence of music and its rhythms on the game of baseball. Readers of Rhythms of the Game will gain an insight into the similarities between musical artistry and athletic performance. The book is written for musiicians and athletes looking to improve their level of performance on the stage or on the field, as well as for a general audience interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying influence of music on the game of baseball." - from the inner front jacket flap. "Rhythms of the Game is an interesting look at how preparing for sports has so many similarities to preparing to perform in the world of music. Bernie is proof that young people don't need to give up on one dream to pursue another, and in fact, the training involved for both music and sports intertwine and help one another." - Cal Ripken, Jr., Baseball Hall of Famer. "I surprised Bernie Williams one day when I told him he was a leader. My thinking was that when he committed, he was consumed. I sense the same dedication with his music. He's a true artist in all that he does, and this book clearly demonstrates that." - Joe Torre. "Anyone who watched Bernie play baseball knows he played the game to his own beat - sometimes as smooth as Miles Davis.other times as explosive as Springsteen. In Rhythms of the Game, he examines the undeniable link between baseball and music, and he does it in Bernie style - with grace, artistry, and all-star efficiency." - Mike Francesa, WFAN radio host. "Rhythms of the Game is entertaining, enlightening, and informative - a journey into the mystical world of greatness in sports and the arts." - Barry Green, musician and author of The Inner Game of Music, The Mastery of Music, and Bringing Music to Life. "I found early in my playing career that rhythm, beats, movement and timing were all contributing to my performance on and off the field.Thank you Bernie, Bob, and Dave for casting light on this area of sports not discussed before." - Dave Winfleild, Baseball Hall of Famer. "Bernie belongs to that rare breed - he can play baseball and music with anybody and nobody doesn't like him." - Yogi Berra.
