I always like to listen to books about baseball in the off season. So, this one definitely intrigued me.

I had never heard of Cy Williams. I found his life very interesting, especially since he was an architect. He also had some rare experiences in baseball.

I also enjoyed learning about baseball during the early 1900s. Lord, how times have changed.

All of that being said, there are quite a few parts that drove me a bit batty. This really does need a good fact checker. Plus, the listing of all the stats…and this happened quite a few times…just made me hit fast forward. Yes, I know baseball is game of math and statistics, but this could have been moved to the end of the book or cut down.

The narrator, Ward Paxton, I could listen to all day!

Need a book about a baseball player that had a unique career…THIS IS IT! Grab your copy today.

I received this audiobook from the publisher for a honest review.

Cy Williams Baseball's Most Unique Star Slugger? To suggest that Cy Williams is the most unique slugger in MLB history may seem like a strange claim. He set the MLB and National League (NL) home run records and other unique records, on his speed in the outfield, on how he got into the game, on the handicap he faced, and on what he gave to the game regarding ethics and dedication. Some things centerfielder Cy accomplished back then are remarkable even today.

The author, Gary Williams, provides an in-depth look into the life and times of Fred “Cy” Williams in a clear and concise manner. He blends the growth of baseball into the story of Cy smoothly and flawlessly. As for the accuracy…well some things seemed off to me.
