George Brett: From Here To Cooperstown ReviewSteve Cameron's latest work with George Brett is a must for any fan of the greatest game. For everyone who has thrilled to George's accomplishments and admired his blue-collar, headfirst approach to the game he loves, "From Here to Cooperstown" is a joy indeed. This book captures the entire story of Brett's career where he had a lifetime average of .305, 3154 hits, and 1595 runs batted in. Great photos and layout compliment the authoring by Steve Cameron. It includes a great section that has quotes and comments from players, coaches, and writers, that have watched George Brett move from a shaky Single A player to the Hall of Famer that he is. Another feature in this book is that George Brett shares his thoughts, emotions, memories, his recollections, and his feelings about the long journey. It captures the entire story of Brett's career from childhood through his many years with the Kansas City Royals. It also does an outstanding job of building an understanding of why Brett is so passionate about the game of baseball. Here is a quote from George on how he would like to be remembered. "I'd like to be remembered as the guy who always played hard and ran out every ball." Although George has made it to the Hall of Fame he thanks many for his success. George would later add in his Hall of Fame speech a thought about his parents. George said," To my parents, Jack and Ethel. Thanks for the endless hours of support and love. You taught me the qualities of life that I will pass along to your grandchildren, Jackson, Dylan, and Robin. I would recommend this book to all players in high school, College, and the Minors because of the lessons it teaches about respect for the game and a personal commitment to excellence.George Brett: From Here To Cooperstown OverviewThere was no blare of trumpet at the beginning.A document was signed on June 25, 1971, which read: "The Billings Baseball Club, herein called the Club, a member of the Pioneer League, and George Howard Brett, herein called the player, of 628 Penn Street, El Segundo, California, are parties to this contract."The agreement called for a signing bonus of $25,000 and a salary of $500 per month.Nearly 28 years later, on January 6, 1999, the player in question received another official notification, postmarked in Cooperstown, New York, which read:"Dear George: Please accept our heartiest congratulations upon your election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, baseball's most singular honor ... (and) the world's most exclusive and best known fraternity."In between that first professional contract and the historic letter from the Hall, George Brett lived a dream-not to mention racking up 3,154 hits, three American League batting titles, a World Series ring with the 1985 Kansas City Royals, and assorted other records and awards too numerous to recount.Now at last, it is time for George to share his own thoughts, memories, recollections, and feelings about the long and exciting journey.For everyone who has thrilled to George's accomplishments and admired his blue-collar, head-first approach to the game he loves,From Here to Cooperstown is a joy indeed. This volume includes George's retrospective on everything from the childhood that molded him through his day-to-day battles on the field, and concludes with the genuine awe he feels at being given baseball's grandest compliment -- the Hall of Fame.George Brett touched millions of people in and out of the game itself, and they will treasure this collection of magnificent (and some never-before published) photographs, as well as quotes, anecdotes, and one-shot yarns about No. 5 from dozens of sources-family members, former teammates, friends, celebrities, and so many more whose respect for George remains rich and deep.
