Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Johnny Heller’s narration in Willie & Me is nothing short of stellar. His voice has the perfect blend of enthusiasm and gravitas to bring both Stosh's wonder and Mays' legend to life. The pacing is brisk, which keeps listeners engrossed from start to finish. Despite its brevity, this audiobook feels expansive due to the rich detail and well-timed pauses that punctuate Stosh’s journey through the history of baseball. A minor critique might be the occasional redundancy in fact-checking, but overall, it's an exhilarating listen for budding baseball fans.
