This review is from: Catcher in the Wry (Paperback)
I picked this book up at a little old bookshop and I couldn't stop laughing. Bob's humor is great and any baseball fan will and should enjoy this book!

An insider's look at the lighter side of baseball, July 22 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Catcher in the Wry (Hardcover)
Althought it has been many years since I read it, this book recounts the career of Bob Uecker. From his struggles in the minor leagues to his appearance in "The Show", it's an insider's look at the game from a practical joker's point of view. Uecker's tongue-in-cheek style of self-effacing humor is hillarious. The book is filled with accounts of his friendships with many hall of fame players and the the antics they came up with to pass the time. Be warned, however...Uecker himself says the book is full of half-truths, and outright lies...but only the true baseball fan will know which is which! An outstanding effort!

Funniest Book I've Ever Read, Aug 3 2005
By N. Sausser "pucksau" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Catcher in the Wry (Paperback)
I recently heard Bob Uecker speak with Vin Scully in the booth during a ball game. He told his signing bonus story and I determined then and there to find out if he'd written a book and if so, to read it. I'm very glad I did. I don't think I've ever had so much fun just reading a book. Uecker talks about his life in baseball and broadcasting. Pictures are included. You don't want to read this book when you are alone. You are going to need another person close by to whom you can read passages aloud. A book for sharing.
Listmania!
