The Rookie - The Incredible True Story of a Man Who Never Gave Up on His Dream (Paperback, Warner Books ed.)

The incredible true story of the thirty-five-year-old physics teacher who broke into the major leagues

HE PLAYED A BOY'S GAME.
HE LIVED A MAN'S LIFE.
AND HE NEVER GAVE UP A DREAM...

As a lonely child, Jim Morris took one thing with him wherever his family moved—his ability to hit and throw a baseball. For Jim, the dream of becoming a major-league ballplayer was his anchor and inspiration, and he had the talent to make it come true...until injuries and life got in the way.

A decade after Jim walked away from the minors and began a life of fatherhood and mortgage payments, he made a promise to the hardscrabble high-school team he coached: If they could win their local championship, he would try out again for the big leagues.

They did—and he did. Now, in this wondrous, heart-tugging book, Jim Morris tells the story of his remarkable life and his amazing journey to the Big Show at the age of thirty-five. This inspirational story is the saga of a dream that wouldn't die, and how a shy, lonely boy finally became...
