Description
A gifted young pitcher watches his promising baseball career begin to unravel, forcing him to confront setbacks on the field and uncertainty beyond it. With candid self-examination, this memoir follows his struggle to understand ambition, identity, masculinity, and the difficult transition from youthful promise to adult self-knowledge. Its sensitive, unsentimental portrayal of athletic failure and personal growth makes it a landmark of sports writing, reaching far beyond baseball to explore what it means to lose one dream and search for another.
