In this remarkably candid autobiography, superstar Mike Piazza
takes readers inside his life and career to show what it takes to
make it to the major leagues and to stay on top.
Piazza was drafted in the sixty-second round of the 1988 MLB draft,
a courtesy pick because of a family connection to Los Angeles
Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda. No one expected Mike Piazza to play
in the major leagues except Mike and his dad--not even the Dodgers.
But with talent, determination, and a formidable work ethic, long
shot Piazza learned the demanding position of catcher and not only
made it to the majors, he became one of the great players in the
history of the game.
With resolute honesty Piazza addresses the issues that swirled
about him during his career: the rumor that he was gay, the
infamous bat-throwing incident with Roger Clemens, and the
accusations of steroid use that plagued nearly every power hitter
of his era. But above all, "Long Shot" is the story of a superstar
who rose to the top through his talent and his deep drive to
succeed.
