Pitchers are at the heart of baseball. Each has the potential to
make his team a winner or, very quickly, a loser. The pressure is
huge. In the end, only those with both the arm and the heart and
the ability to manage extraordinary stress will emerge as
champions.
John Feinstein looks into this complex side of the game through the
events of one nerve-racking season and through the eyes of two
great pitchers trying to perform at the highest possible level in
the twilight of their careers in the biggest media fishbowl in
America. Tom Glavine and Mike Mussina have seen it all in the Major
Leagues, remarkable highs and heartbreaking lows. Both entered the
2007 season in search of individual milestones and one more shot at
the World Series--Glavine with the Mets, Mussina a few miles and
one borough away with the Yankees. Despite their proximity, they
experienced very different seasons--one pitching for a team dealing
with the pressure of trying to qualify for the World Series for the
first time in seven years; the other with a legendary team,
expected to be there every year.
Feinstein captures the rollercoaster that was the 2007 season for
both teams through the experiences of two pitchers at the center of
it all. John Feinstein provides a true insider's look into the most
intensely watched and scrutinized position in sports-Major League
starting pitcher.
