His journey from there to the Red Sox (via Oakland), and ...

"Enjoyable book. It's probably interesting to me since I'm a Sox fan and lived through their last two world series. Lots of inside info to his life and the Red Sox in general during that timeframe. The actual writing and style/structure of writing wasn't that great. I've read much better written books with respect to flow and structure."
"This book SUCKED!!! He is SO full of himself, it's sickening. All he does is relive all his old baseball games play by boring play. WHO THE HELL CARES ALREADY!!! Dude get over yourself!!!! He also says how boring the Boston Red Sox players were UNTIL HE came along. How he showed them ALL how to have a good time. How HE brought excitement to the team and how HE made baseball cool. GIVE ME A BREAK!!!
Well where are you now Johnny???? You're a YANKEE!! Where's your long hair and all that coolness???? Yeah, just keep patting yourself on the back, cuz you're the only one that's doing it."
"what can I say-I am a Red Sox fan and when I read this he was still on that team- of course now he has defected (!) so I would not read a second book by him"
