Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"A true picture of baseball."-Tim McCarverFrom the humble heights of a Class-A pitcher's mound to the deflating lows of sleeping on his gun-toting grandmother's air mattress, veteran reliever Dirk Hayhurst steps out of the bullpen to deliver the best pitch of his career-a raw and unflinching account of his life in the minors."A rollicking good bus ride of a book."-Tom Verducci, Sports Illustrated"Funny and honest. I loved it."-Tim Kurkjian, senior writer, ESPN The Magazine, and analyst/reporter, ESPN television"Bull Durham meets Ball Four."-Rob Neyer, ESPN.com"If Holden Caulfield could dial up his fastball to 90 mph, he might have written this funny, touching memoir. He might have called it 'Pitcher in the Rye.' "-King Kaufman, SalonWhether training tarantulas to protect his room from thieving employees in a backwater hotel or absorbing the gentle mockery of some not-quite-starstruck schoolchildren, Hayhurst reveals a side of baseball-and life-rarely seen on ESPN."Fascinating...a perspective that fans rarely see."-Trevor Hoffman
