Dominic DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr, and Ted
Williams made up the close knit friend group that all played professional
baseball together, and won a World Series. The Teammates A Portrait of
Friendship, recreates the journey that DiMaggio, and Pesky took to Florida to
visit their teammate and friend Ted Williams. Doerr however was unable to make
the trip due his wife who had suffered her second stroke. On the way to see
Williams stories are told by DiMaggio and Pesky about their early life and what
it was like playing baseball with one another. It takes you back in time and
shows you what it was like to be in each one of their shoes. They talk about
their families, how they got into baseball, and what life was all about back
then. Being an avid Red Sox fan this book gave me an insight on some of the
greatest players in Red Sox history. If you love baseball, or value a good
friendship, this is one book that you will not want to miss out on.
