Summary of Leigh Steinberg & Michael Arkush's The Agent

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I began to believe that the entire world was filled with Jewish comedians. Grandpa, along with Burns, took me to my first professional baseball game three years before the Dodgers arrived from Brooklyn.

#2 I had a very progressive father who was very sad on election night in 1956 when Adlai Stevenson lost to Dwight D. Eisenhower. He was eternally optimistic, and he preferred to see the good in human nature. I adopted the same attitude.

#3 I grew up in a family that struggled to get by, but we never felt deprived. We had many other riches to savor: simple ones, such as our dog, Harry, named after the book Harry the Dirty Dog, or playing hide-and-go-seek or rubber-band wars.

#4 I grew up in an area with few Jewish families. I played with the blacks and Mexicans and Asians in my neighborhood, and I felt like part of their families. I never let the peer pressure on the street compromise my core principles.
