Walk Down memory lane

William Lawson has written a great book and the narration by George Peddingal is right on point!!! We listened to the book as a family. Me, my wife and our 3 boys. The boys were taking notes to try to stump me with trivia which was really fun. But this book kept us all engaged from beginning to end thanks to the great narration.

Listening to this book bundle took me back to my childhood and the stories that my dad told me as well as so many that I have witnessed and watched on television or even a few i saw in person!!!

This book and its information on NBA history is really interesting. The facts in the book really give me some "trivia' to stump my friends with. The NFL is the most popular sport today and to listen to how the teams got their names and other facts about the league is truly enlightening and makes me appreciate more how they have grown into the most popular sport today.

My favorite part of the book about baseball. Baseball is our families favorite sport and some of the facts outlined in the book and the opinions too really kept me engaged. In particular I loved the listing of the 20 best baseball teams of all time. But in particular the best player in history by position really created great conversation around the dinner table.

Thank you for writing this book. We highly recommend it!!!
