Bill Denehy was at the top of his game . . . until he threw a
pitch that changed the course of his life.
A home-run bio about a gifted pitcher whose National League
career held promise until a hard slider to Willie Mays injured his
shoulder, "Rage" chronicles Denehy's injury-plagued career in major
league baseball and the loss of his vision due to injections used
to keep him in the game.
Denehy holds nothing back as he shares the rage he felt his
whole life, his lost dreams, his descent in addiction, and
eventually finding peace when he entered recovery. His experience
will resonate with athletes, baseball fans, those who struggle with
addiction, and those who know someone who does.
Bill "Baseball Bill" Denehy is a former major league baseball
player for the New York Mets. He later coached the University of
Hartford, was a minor league pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox
and a radio announcer. He is now in long-term recovery and belongs
to the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association.
