Book Review of Calico Joe

Calico Joe
Helpful Score: 3


I really liked this story. It is a quick read. I am a sports fan, but not particularly a baseball fan. It is more a story of forgiveness and making amends than anything else. It is told by the son of a pro baseball player who was mean spirited and caused devastating consequences to lives and careers, particularly the famous rookie for the Chicago Cubs, "Calico Joe". The son tries to convince his father to own up to his actions before his impending death.
