In "A False Spring," Pat Jordan traces the falling star of his
once-promising pitching career, illuminating along the way his
equally difficult personal struggles and quest for maturity. When
the reader meets Jordan, he is a hard-throwing pitcher with
seemingly limitless potential, one of the first "bonus babies" for
the Milwaukee Braves organization. Jordan's sojourn through the
lower levels of minor-league ball takes him through the small towns
of America: McCook, Waycross, Davenport, Eau Claire, and Palatka.
As the promised land of the majors recedes because of his
inconsistency and lack of control, the young man who had previously
known only glory and success is forced to face himself.
