If you like Junior, you'll cheer this coronation that wears his name. Part photographic tribute--see his first step toward Cooperstown as he toddles into home in a father-son game in Cincinnati in the '70s--and part tour guide to some towering achievements, Junior asks its varied witnesses for insights into the player, the man, and his talents; then it presents its finding as oral history. Teammate Jay Buhner focuses on the power of Junior's innate confidence; former manager Jim Lefebvre looks back at Griffey's rookie year with continued amazement ("He was so natural, and never in awe"); Tim McCarver analyzes his on-the-field completeness; slugger Reggie Jackson, after parsing Griffey's fluid swing, observes that his background as a Major League brat always made the ballpark feel like home to him. Off the field, a representative from the Make-a-Wish Foundation ushers the kid-within-the-superstar into the spotlight with her tales of his dedication to and patience with ailing children. It makes for an altogether exuberant look at an exuberant presence--and with hopeful expectations of what's yet to come. --Jeff Silverman
