- Great Read, goes beyond baseball.
If you want to read about Mike Lowell, defining moments in his life, what shaped him, his fight against cancer and beating the odds to become a World Series MVP then this book is for you.

Rating: - MIKE LOWELL COURAGEOUS MAN
In this book I found a man with character, integrity, honesty, modesty and strong faith and family values. A truly MVP in baseball and in the game of life.
An inspirational book, a must read for the younger generation.
