							                       Zim: A Baseball Life (Unabridged)
Don Zimmer had his first taste of baseball glory in 1948 as a member of a national
champion American Legion team. He was drafted by the Brooklyn Dodgers, only to
have his career - and life - threatened when he was beaned in a minor league game
in 1953.After a miraculous recovery, he went on to play for Brooklyn's only
world-championship team in 1955, the L.A. Dodgers' first world-championship team
four years later, and as an original New York Met in 1962. Zim managed the San
Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers, and Chicago Cubs, and was Joe
Torre's bench coach during the Yankee's world championship seasons of 1996, 1998,
1999, and 2000. His career has crossed paths with some of baseball's most
memorable people and events. Here is 50 years of baseball history as seen through
the eyes of one of its most colorful characters.
