Book Reviews

Steven D. Cahn has written “Sid Gordon, An American Baseball Story,” and we highly recommend this book – you don’t have to be a baseball fan or a follower of Jewish sports to appreciate this well told story of an outstanding ball player who most people know very little about. This is an American story, a story of family, friendship, baseball and much more – a great read which would make a great gift for Hanukkah or Christmas. A job very well done, Steven!

It is very apparent to the reader what a tremendous and likable man Sid Gordon was. SID GORDON: AN AMERICAN STORY, could have been easily called NICE GUYS FINISH FIRST. This book is so much more than a baseball story, it is in fact as the title states, AN AMERICAN STORY. It is also apparent that yes, NICE GUYS FINISH FIRST. Two thumbs up.

Gordon’s the type of player I want at the plate when there is an important run waiting at third.

– Leo Durocher

Some guys in this league outhit Gordon but no body outhustles him.

– Leo Durocher

Despite his quiet mannerisms, Gordon is a commanding figure, respected by his teammates and rival players.
