The Big Z - The Carlos Zambrano Story (Electronic book text)

Though baseball fans everywhere have come to know Carlos Zambrano, or El Toro, as the bat-crashing, Barrett-smashing, finger-pointing, homer-slugging ace of the Cubs, what they don't know about him is that he has a great sense of humor, plays jokes on all his friends, has a very strong Christian faith, and grew up playing in the streets of Venezuela with shoes filled with such big holes he was nearly barefoot long before signing his recent record-breaking contract. This biography chronicle Zambrano's life story and is ideal for anyone fighting against tough odds and looking for inspiration.
