"To my coauthor, Michael Levin. You've been the consummate teammate through the whole process of writing this book. You've been great to work with from the very first outline and title selection. From the beginning your love and knowledge of the game shone through, hence our ideas flourished and our exchange of ideas was always lively. I'd say my 2006 first-round draft pick for a coauthor was an extremely successful one." Dave Winfield, Baseball Hall of Fame Author of Dropping the Ball, published by Scribner, 2007, written with Michael Levin "Unusually thoughtful" - The New York Times "An eloquent plea for decency and loyalty from one of today¹s premier ambassadors of the game." - The Boston Globe "Hall of Famer Dave Winfield had an illustrious career on the ballfield. But the game he loves is rapidly losing its appeal among African-Americans, both on and off the field. What happened-and what he wants to do about it." - Newsweek Magazine Recommended book - "Leisure Meter" - Esquire Magazine "In Dropping the Ball, a new book filled with ideas on how to improve baseball at all levels, Winfield swings for the fences in a way few retired players have ever dared." - Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel
