Book Reviews of Joe Dimaggio : The Promise
Book Review: Thank You Mr Carrieri For Sharing Your Dream Come True
Summary: 5 Stars
Thank You Joe Carrieri for sharing with me this evening a part of your life that you lived, loved and are now offering to the entire world in your new book JOE DIMAGGIO:THE PROMISE.I have, in my lifetime, been given many different tips on various investments that never seem to come to fruition. However, a SURE TIP that you can take to the bank is the following: If you want to feel what it would be like to have a dream come true and then to be so grateful for that gift of life that you needed to tell the whole world...and now have done exactly that...stop tonight and pick up this book. Joe Carrieri was not just a Yankee Batboy. He was a boy with a dream. He made a promise to his Grammar School principal who allowed him to take the job conditioned that he learn the secret of greatness and then write about his experiences. Well, Mr.Principal, because you bent the rules and allowed Joe Carrieri to leave school early and take the bat boy position for the New York Yankees.....millions of people, both young and old, male and female can now read and feel what it was like to be surrounded by some of the world's greatest heroes. This book was not written just for baseball fans but written for the the world as a "Promise" to a friend and judging some of the other chapters by content one would have to conclude that this writer has a great deal of wonderful life experiences that will hold you to this book until the last page is read. In this book DiMaggio is portrayed as an unselfish team player. He knew what it took to win and with his bat, glove and magnetic spirit drove his team into ten World Series Champioships. Joe Carrieri stood at home plate congratulating baseball greats like Mickey Mantle,Yogi Berra,Whitey Ford and Joe DiMaggio who knew Joe to be much more than a batboy.They all took time to teach and help any way they could. The way this book is written, the reader can hear the cheering of the fans, feel the excitement as the Yankees win five consecutive World Series and then understand that The Promise is really about living life to the fullest and sharing your special gifts with the world. I left this book knowing that "LEGENDS NEVER DIE" but also knowing that the author was sending all of us a message...something very important....how to overcome your fears, how to make your own decisions with confidence and most of all to always believe in yourself. Mr.Carrieri, I'm sure that as an attorney and child adoption authority, father of six children and a husband....you are certainly scheduled each minute of every day. You promised the reader a wonderful uplift and a feeling that we would want to tell others about and you most certainly fulfilled that PROMISE...TO US...TO BROTHER COLUMBO, TO JOE DIMAGGIO AND TO YOURSELF. P.S. I will make sure I pick up your other book "Searching For Heroes"..The Quest Of A Yankee Batboy.God Bless You for caring about people.
