More than 6 years after his death David Halberstam remains one of this country's most respected journalists and revered authorities on American life and history in the years since WWII. A Pulitzer Prize-winner for his ground-breaking reporting on the Vietnam War, Halberstam wrote more than 20 books, almost all of them bestsellers. His work has stood the test of time and has become the standard by which all journalists measure themselves.The Teammates is the profoundly moving story of four great baseball players who have made the passage from sports icons--when they were young and seemingly indestructible--to men dealing with the vulnerabilities of growing older. At the core of the book is the friendship of these four very different men--Boston Red Sox teammates Bobby Doerr, Dominic DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, and Ted Williams--who remained close for more than sixty years.The book starts out in early October 2001, when Dominic DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky begin a 1,300-mile trip by car to visit their beloved friend Ted Williams, whom they know is dying. Bobby Doerr, the fourth member of this close group--"my guys," Williams used to call them--is unable to join them.This is a book--filled with historical details and first-hand accounts--about baseball and about something more: the richness of friendship.

I'm a baseball Yankees fan but I knew about the great RedSox's Hall of Fame Ted Williams. INMO the best hitter of all time. Bought this book to learn more about him and his teammates who played with him.The Teammates is a small 218 page book very well written by David Halberstam. David won a Pulitzer for his reporting in Vietnam and is the author of 13 best sellers, so I knew he was a great author. The Teammates is a fast paced book, with no boring parts that I read in one day. I couldn't put it down. It has some nice B/W pictures too.We see the great Ted Williams dieing in a wheel chair with a leaking valve in his heart and other serious medical problems. Two of three old teammate best friends decide to drive over a thousand miles to see him for the last time before he passes away. Dick Flavin an ultra fan goes too. Bobby Doerr (RedSox Hall of Fame) can't make it as his elderly wife has had two stokes and he must be near her side helping her. The great Dom DiMaggio ( Yankee Joe DiMaggio brother) goes even though he had been fighting a severe crippling bone disease. The legendary contact hitter Johnny Pesky makes it too as well as the ultra fan Dick Flavin. The trip by car from Marion to Hernando took 3 days.We see the baseball stories from all these great players and their history.I really empathised with these men, now all old in their 80s when the book was wrote. This IS NOT just a baseball book. The reader is blessed reading a true friendship book and seeing that the great loud demanding " got to be the best in life" Ted Williams really needed the steady even tempered soft spoken Bobby Doerr to counter his life style. Also Dom, he called him Dommy, was his best friend he loved so much. Williams cant understand why he never was elected in the Hall of Fame. Little Johnny Presky a superb contact hitter with little power was nicknamed "The Needle" because of his long hooked nose on such a small frame. Together these great ball players were the core of the RedSox in the Redsox glory days.You don't have to be a baseball fan to like this book. The emotions of these men toward each other are great. True friendship. Plus lots of baseball statistics and stories. I really liked this book 4 1/3 stars.
