Dear Baseball Gods: A Memoir
About this ebook
Why didn't you look out for him? Didn't he deserve better? He hustled, competed, and played the game the right way. What happened wasn't fair.
A Second Comeback
Dan sat by a tree, staring at the ground trying to decide what he would do next. The doctor had just explained that everything he worked for was now ruined. A second Tommy John surgery? Does anyone come back from that? Is my career over? Is this it?
A Winding Road to the Top
As a walk-on in college, Dan had to earn everything. He pitched on three hours sleep, lived in the clubhouse, played for a team that collapsed mid-season, and endured more arm pain than any kid should.
A Way to Move On
When finally forced to hang up his cleats, Dan looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the man peering back. If no longer a ballplayer...what would he do? What had been the point of it all? Who was he?
The Deeper Side of Life as an Athlete
In this philosophical memoir, written as a series of letters, you'll learn that the pinstripes don't wash off so easily.
