Free shipping for many products! David Halberstam - The Teammates Having previously read Halberstam's October (not reviewed on this site), I knew I would enjoy this book as well. I have had it since it came out, but it took until the doldrums of a winter (when I typically get the urge to read more baseball books since there are no real games to watch or play in) to finally delve into The Teammates.
David Halberstam's tribute to four teammates from the Red Sox of his youth is a baseball story that goes beyond baseball to something much deeper. Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio, and Ted Williams (two Hall-of-Famers and two should-be Hall-of-Famers) played together in the late 30's, the 40's, and the early 50's for one of the great baseball teams of the 20th century. Thus begins David Halberstam's The Teammates, a profoundly human story of four great ballplayers who have made the passage from sports icons -- when they were young and seemingly indestructible -- to men dealing with the vulnerabilities of growing older. At the core of the book is the friendship of these four very different but extraordinary men, the key players in a remarkable Boston Red Sox team, who stayed close to each other for more than sixty years.
