Fan for Life

Full disclosure; Steve Blass is my all time favorite Pittsburgh Pirate. That being said, ole number 28 really shows up with his best stuff here, As a narrator, he’s dealin’. This is about Life, struggles, heartbreak, overcoming, respect, reverence, comedy, love, loyalty and joy. i could actually go on for at least an hour. So treat yourself this seven plus hours of stories, proverbs, and anecdotes, from a true baseball living legend. And you also will find yourself recommending this one.

My Hall of Famer

I enjoyed this book. I watched Steve on Pirates games for the past decades and always enjoyed his stories and humor. I think he should be in the MLB Hall of Fame as a broadcaster. Fifty years with one team should be honored.

A Pirate Fan for Life!

Absolutely an amazing story of a man who had every right to give up and quit, but refused to let "the thing" destroy him. A must read for every baseball fan!
