Critics Review
A beautiful, absolutely unforgettable memoir.– “Booklist” (1/1/1999 12:00:00 AM)
A must read not only for baseball and Indians fans but for the story of a father and son.– “Amazon.com” (1/1/1999 12:00:00 AM)
Like the team that Pluto loves, Our Tribe is not great. But it will break your heart.– “The New York Times” (1/1/1999 12:00:00 AM)
More than just a sports’ book. It’s all about the bonding between a father, a son, and daughter. For people who’ve lost a father, Our Tribe can be very comforting. A beautiful book!–Danny Rebecca “WQAL FM Radio” (1/1/1999 12:00:00 AM)
Perhaps the best American writer of sports books.– “Chicago Sun-Times” (1/1/1999 12:00:00 AM)
What makes Our Tribe more than a general recounting of the team’s history is Pluto’s personal account of life with Dad as it revolved around the Indians, from childhood through his debut as a sportswriter to the aftermath of his father’s debilitating stroke. The passages about Pluto Senior’s last years are particularly heartrending … A sweet, sentimental thank you not only to the authors favorite team, but especially to his father that will tug at any baseball fan’s heart.– “Kirkus Reviews” (1/1/1999 12:00:00 AM)
