The Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship
Hardcover Audio CD Paperback Kindle Edition"The Teammates" by David Halberstam is a non-fiction book that tells the story of the lifelong friendship between four former Boston Red Sox players who were teammates in the early 1940s: Ted Williams, Dom DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, and Bobby Doerr. The book chronicles their careers and personal lives, as well as the deep bond that developed between them through their shared experiences both on and off the baseball diamond. The narrative focuses particularly on a road trip the three surviving players made to visit a dying Williams in 2001, during which they reminisced about their time together and reflected on the meaning of friendship, loyalty, and mortality. Through interviews with the players and their families, as well as extensive research into archival materials, Halberstam creates a moving portrait of a unique and enduring bond among men united by a shared passion for baseball and a deep affection for each other.
