Hey make fun of Mr Eckstein all you want, the fact is that he has two world series rings more than most MLB players. I am all for inspirational books. You know people that beat the odds and accomplished something great. What's there to make fun of?

David Eckstein is 4'10" and appears to suffer from borderline albinism. Despite this, he is a mediocre MLB shortstop. After he throws the ball to first base, it looks like he needs to lie down from exhaustion. He also runs hard to first base, as most baseball players do.
Baseball analysts have interpreted this data to be somehow indicative of something more powerful than mere "tangible" baseball skills, perhaps residing somewhere deep in the (non-human?) DNA of David Eckstein.
Scrappiness seems to generate a significant book price premium. The Eckstein book goes for $18.45. Meanwhile, Eric Gagne's book in the same series can be had for a mere $12.44! Much less scrap in Gagne's book reviews too. http://tinyurl.com/yzs5oo.
Speaking of last minute baseball gifts, where can authentic unused Juan Pierre batting helmets be found? I need a new set of single scoop sundae dishes.

Actually I have no problems with Eckstein.
But my three of my four loyal readers don't like him for some reason.

Still hilarious.

Hey, it was new to me!
This book is being released in its second edition. Must have a new Cardinal cover, revised preface paragraph, and newly added two page final chapter.
