"I've always believed that it takes a village of people to love and nurture a professional athlete into being. The Molinas are the perfect example. They will go down with the Alous, the Boones, the Bells, and others as baseball family royalty. This book is a must-read for all parents who want to teach their children the skills of the game while making sure they know that their skills away from the diamond are just as important." -- Ron Darling, "It's this year's baseball book most likely to be made into a terrific movie. ... An ideal Father's Day present." -- The Chicago Tribune, "I've always believed that it takes a village of people to love and nurture a professional athlete into being. The Molinas are the perfect example. They will go down with the Alous, the Boones, the Bells, and others as baseball family royalty. This book is a must-read for all parents who want to teach their children the skills of the game while making sure they know that their skills away from the diamond are just as important." - Ron Darling, "If Molina was just a baseball book explaining how a small town in Puerto Rico produced a historic set of three brothers who became Major League catchers and earned six World Series championships, it would still be a terrific read. The reality is that Molina is that and much more: it is a great book. Bengie honors his family, especially his Pai and Mai, by describing how their love and support carried him and his brothers through difficult beginnings into legendary careers--Mai taking care of the home front and Pai coaching their physical and mental baseball skills. Throughout the book, wonderful stories are combined with fascinating insights. I have read Molina three times to fully appreciate its many important messages. Molina will touch you on many levels. You will love it." -- Tony La Russa, "For three brothers to make it to the big leagues, to all play the same demanding position, and to appear, between them, in eight World Series to date is remarkable enough. What is just as remarkable is the backstory-the family, especially the parents, who made Yadier, Bengie, and José Molina the ballplayers and men they became." -Bob Costas, "An affecting memoir about a remarkable man who raised three sons to become baseball champions. . . . A simply told, deeply moving story, quite unlike the usual baseball book." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review), "For three brothers to make it to the big leagues, to all play the same demanding position, and to appear, between them, in eight World Series to date is remarkable enough.

Synopsis
New York Times Bestseller "It's this year's baseball book most likely to be made into a terrific movie." -- The Chicago Tribune "Affecting...A simply told, deeply moving story, quite unlike the usual baseball book." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A baseball rules book. A tape measure. A lottery ticket. These were in the pocket of Bengie Molina's father when he died of a heart attack on the rutted Little League field in his Puerto Rican barrio. The items serve as thematic guideposts in Molina's beautiful memoir about his father, who through baseball taught his three sons about loyalty, humility, courage, and the true meaning of success. Bengie and his two brothers--Jose and six-time All-Star Yadier--became famous catchers in the Major Leagues and have six World Series championships among them. Only the DiMaggio brothers can rival the Molinas as the most accomplished siblings in baseball history. Bengie was the least likely to reach the Majors. He was too slow, too sensitive, and too small. But craving his beloved father's respect, Bengie weathered failure after deflating failure until one day he was hoisting a World Series trophy in a champagne-soaked clubhouse. All along he thought he was fulfilling his father's own failed dream of baseball glory--only to discover it had not been his father's dream at all. Written with the emotional power of sports classics such as Field of Dreams and Friday Night Lights , Molina is a love story between a formidable but flawed father and a son who, in unearthing answers about his father's life, comes to understand his own.

This is the ideal eBay seller. I was offered a lower purchase price that was just too hard to refuse, my item was shipped out fast, it arrived well packaged and I unwrapped it to find that it looked even better in person than it did in the photos. I will gladly do business again if I have the opportunity. A+

This seller has integrity; I accidentally paid the "buy it now" price rather than the reduced offer price. When I notified the seller, I had a refund of the overpayment within 24 hours. The books arrived in great condition, well packaged, and shipped promptly. Most are for gifts to my pastor, so I thank this seller for helping make this possible. We recommend without any reservations.
