Keith Hernandez revolutionized the role of first baseman. During
his illustrious career with the World Series-winning St. Louis
Cardinals and New York Mets, he was a perennial fan favorite,
earning eleven consecutive Gold Gloves, a National League co-MVP
Award, and a batting title. But it was his unique blend of
intelligence, humor, and talent--not to mention his unflappable
leadership, playful antics, and competitive temperament--that
transcended the sport and propelled him to a level of renown that
few other athletes have achieved, including his memorable
appearances on the television show Seinfeld. Now, with a striking
mix of candor and self-reflection, Hernandez takes us along on his
journey to baseball immortality. There are the hellacious bus rides
and south-of-the-border escapades of his minor league years. His
major league benchings, unending plate adjustments, and role in one
of the most exciting batting races in history against Pete Rose.
Indeed, from the Little League fields of Northern California to the
dusty proving grounds of triple-A ball to the grand stages of Busch
Stadium and beyond, I'm Keith Hernandez reveals as much about
America's favorite pastime as it does about the man himself. What
emerges is an honest and compelling assessment of the game's past,
present, and future--a memoir that showcases one of baseball's most
unique and experienced minds at his very best.
