Senator Paul Laxalt once referred to Jackie Jensen as a "gentleman jock". Besides holding numerous college football and baseball records as an All-American, Jackie set home-run, stolen-base, and RBI records while playing for the Red Sox and was named American League MVP. He was the only man to play alongside both Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams or to play in the Rose Bowl, the East-West Game, the World Series, and a baseball All-Star Game. However, as his son Jay said, "Jack's story really began after he left baseball". This comprehensive biography reveals the inside story of Jensen's life from his days as a competitive athlete, through his career as a college coach, to his death at age 55.
