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.
