I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before its published.
He passed away in 1984 and with the help from ghostwriter, Tim Manners, we get his story in his words as Tim was given access to Waite’s archives from his family.
I had no clue who Waite Hoyt was, but from the description on Netgalley, I was very intrigued.
He is a Hall of Famer, he won 3 World Series, and he played with Babe Ruth on the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. He was signed as a professional ball player by the New York Giants in 1915 when we just a high school junior. He persevered and had much success.
After he left the game, he became a radio broadcaster for the Cincinnati Reds.
I really enjoyed all the stories from his playing days and broadcasting days, and the book was a great read.
