A Pitcher's Story - Innings with David Cone (Paperback)

Written by Roger Angell, America's esteemed poet laureate of baseball, to a roar of overwhelming acclaim, A PITCHER'S STORY is more than the account of a great player. Painted, as Angell always does, with a fine brush that vividly re-creates the world of ball and bat...from the faded pitcher graffiti on the walls of a bullpen...to the smooth ballet of the first unassisted triple play in forty-one years...to the triumphs and dark uncertainties of a complex star, this book is a profoundly moving voyage into the heart and mind of the quintessential pitcher of our time, David Cone—and a lyrical serenade to baseball and the game of life.

THE OLDEST ROOKIE
by Jim Morris and Joel Engel
Jim Morris's 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, he made a promise to the 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 amazing story of how a shy, lonely boy finally made it to the Big Show at the age of thirty-five.

"A story that's easy to love...vividly details what Morris was up against."
-New York Times Book Review
