Review
"Seidel's work should stand the test of time as an accurate, evenhanded portrait."-Library Journal Library Journal "Michael Seidel's rounded biography ... Suggests, delicately, why, in spite of his virtuosity at the plate, [Williams] does not belong on any all-time all-star team... Still, as a pure hitter Williams was in a class by himself."-New York Times Book Review New York Times Book Review
