Non-Fiction Biography
he 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. Doerr is back in Oregon tending
to his wife of sixty-three years, who has suffered a second
stroke. Acclaimed author David Halberstam has given us a
book-filled with historical details and first-hand
accounts-about baseball and about something more, the
richness of friendship.
