Zim: A Baseball Life by Don Zimmer

Zim: A Baseball Life by Don Zimmer

"Zimmer's baseball life has been a full one, and half a century of his stories makes for a bountiful book." - Allen St. John, "New York Times Book Review". "On every page, he is there to be appreciated for his journey as a player, manager, and coach for more than half a century as well as for his wisdom, his humor, and just being himself." - Dave Anderson, "New York Times". "Zimmer closes his book by saying, 'For a lifetime .235 hitter, I've had a hell of a life,' and on that score he is unassailable. One could add that for a lifetime .235 hitter, he's written a heck of a memoir." - Michael Prager, "Boston Globe".For more than half a century, Don Zimmer has lived "a baseball life," crossing paths with some of the game's most memorable people and events. In "Zim", he takes you everywhere he's been over his remarkable baseball journey, from his near-fatal beaning to his adventures with "Dem Bums" in the 1950s to the championship years in the Bronx as Joe Torre's bench coach. Told with refreshing humility and disarming honesty, "Zim" offers a panoramic history of both the sport and the man, told with a feel for the game that is uniquely Zimmer's.

Don Zimmer is currently the bench coach for the New York Yankees. He lives in Treasure Island, Florida. Bill Madden is an award-winning columnist with the New York Daily News who has covered baseball for more than twenty-five years. He is the coauthor of Damned Yankees and has known Zimmer for more than twenty years.
