What reading level is Jim & Me book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It’s only fair to tell you which is which.
Jim Thorpe, John McGraw, Christy Mathewson, Lord Byron, and all the players of 1913 were real people. After Jim Thorpe’s Olympic medals were taken away from him in January 1913, a number of major-league baseball teams made him offers. It’s too bad he chose the New York Giants; he and John McGraw could not get along, and Jim never got the chance to develop as a baseball player. Jim was fast and had a great arm, but had problems at the plate. He got just ...35 at bats in 1913, and he only made five hits (for an average of .143). The Giants won the pennant easily, but lost their third World Series in a row. Jim never got a World Series at bat. The next season, McGraw let him bat just 31 times and he got six hits. In 1915, Jim got twelve hits in 52 at bats.
The rap on Jim was that he couldn’t hit a curveball, as seen in this short piece that appeared in The New York Times on March 15, 1916: McGraw eventually did get rid of Jim.
Interestingly, after Jim was traded, he started to hit.
