Summary: Sports as Inspiration.
Review: Joe Carrieri's book, "Searching for Heroes, The Quest of a Yankee Batboy" is a wonderful picture of a great era in Yankee history. He was in a unique position as a youngster, some would say a dream spot. When he is instructed by Brother Columbo, his principal at St. Jerome's Grammar School, to interview baseball's most successful players as to the meaning of greatness in their own lives as a requirement to being excused from school, the reader is transported into a fantasticworld. Any youngster reading this is bound to be inspired and I can attest to this as a retired teacher. I understand Mr. Carrieri has written another book entitled, "The Promise." It focuses on Joe Dimaggio. How perfect. The inspiration of Joltin Joe is legendary. Hopefully, Amazon will include "The Promise" in your catalogue and by doing so will help to inspire readers, young and old. Any chance of this happening soon?

Review: Searching for Heroes is a beyond excellent story. Joe Carrieri's experience being a Yankee batboy is every boy's dream and for him to actually live it must have been a feeling thats undescribable. He lived a childhood life with the greastest legends in baseball history. EXCELLENT!!!! Theres heroes and theirs legends, heroes get remembered and legends never DIE.

Review: While unlike many other people who have read this book by seeing it on the shelf or being told how good it was I was told to read it by the author of it...Joe Carrieri. I met Joe on many occasions as I would work the morning shifts at the local Foodtown/Shoprite in the neighborhood and he would always be in every weekend. One day while talking about the yankees he told me about his bok and the next time I was in the book store I happened to see it so I bought it. It sat on my shelf for a few years and I forgot about it. But last night I happened to see it and had nothing to read and picked it up. Ti put it mildly I have never ead a book so fast in my life. The Book was absolutely amazing!!! I would reccommend this book to anyone! Joe if you read this I was the guy that always worked with Maria from about 1994-1998 my name is Louis Mancini and you did a great job!!!
