The Big Z:The Carlos Zambrano Story  Oct 20, 2008
Great story about an amazing pitcher for a Terrific Team!! He has come a long way, but is still humble and "God-fearing." An easy read, too. This makes you grateful for all that you have, considering the beginnings some people come from.
 
What a blessing!  Nov 4, 2007
I was encouraged to read this biography of Carlos Zambrano. He is a truly humble (if unpredictable!) baseball player who loves the Lord with all his heart. It's exciting to think of where the road will lead for The Big Z.
