After years of being in the shadow of Joe Montana, lefty Steve Young took over the quarterback duties of the San Francisco 49ers football team and led them to glory with an overwhelming Super Bowl victory. It would turn out to be the last championship won by the Niners, leaving Young as a hard act to follow. This book was one two biographies (the other being [b:The Steve Young Story|3193328|The Steve Young Story|Laury Livsey|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1267848311s/3193328.jpg|3226378]) quickly published after Young's victory, and I did enjoy it. The author does a quite decent job of relaying Young's childhood and his travails in rising to the top. It's a quick read and would certainly fit on the shelf of any gridiron fan.

Patience is indeed a bitter plant that produces sweet fruit.
