Unabridged Audiobook
Rickey was a baseball hero of my youth. Bryant's book is an excellent study of a massive talent and a fascinating character. This is a sympathetic portrait of a sometimes controversial and polarizing player. Interesting themes of the book include baseball's changing economics, the "unwritten rules" of baseball, and the impact of Rickey's race on his relationships with management, media, and fans. But, of course, a book about Rickey Henderson is going to be fun. There are many "Rickey being Rickey" stories here that had me laughing. And the narrator was fantastic, giving an engaging and dynamic reading of the book.
