From the first third-generation football player in Major Little league Baseball background, a sometimes moving, always candid take a look at his family's 70 years in the wonderful world of professional football. Bret Boone made background in 1992 as the first third-generation major leaguer in football background. A five-foot-ten firecracker who was spurned by scouts for his small size, expected lack of vitality, and temper tantrums (one scout called him a "helmet-throwing terror"), Bret didn't care about family legacy; he wished to make his own way. He have just that, building a 14-year profession that included three all-star looks, four Gold Gloves, a bout with alcoholism, and the ignominy of being traded for the infamous "player to be known as later." Now that he's coaching minimal leaguers half his get older, and his 15-year-old boy gets the potential to be always a fourth-generation major leaguer, Bret is preparing to think about and tell the storyline of football from the perspective of his family's 70-year history in the activity. Merging the brashness and candor of Ball Four with a dollop of Big Russ and Me sentiment, this publication will track the progression of the overall game - on the field and behind the moments - from Ray Boone's age in the 1950s to Bret and Aaron's age in the 90s and 2000s, when players made millions, dined on lobster in the clubhouse, injected themselves with PEDs, and had their choice of "Annies" - female clingers-on, or as today's players call them, "highway beef." Along the way, the publication will touch on bits of Boone family lore, including Bret striking zero dingers in a home run derby and Aaron's home run (if you don't know very well what this is discussing, then check with the nearest Red Sox supporter). Blending nostalgia, behind-the-scenes profanity, close research of the overall game that only players can offer, and insight into baseball's ongoing progression as a sport and an enterprise, Bret Boone will give you a one-of-a-kind take a look at America's favorite pastime from a family group that has seen everything.
