Odd Man Out: A Year on the Mound with a Minor League Misfit [ODD MAN OUT] [Hardcover] - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Many, perhaps even most avid fans play a variety of fantasy baseball that doesn't require access to any web site. Whether we're accountants or engineers, successful CEOs or railroad conductors, we imagine ourselves pitching no-hitters or hitting home runs for the Yankees or the Pirates or the Twins. In Odd Man Out, Yale-educated biochemist Matt McCarthy writes about how he lived out those dreams with a one-year stint as a middling southpaw hurler with the minor league Provo Angels. The valor of his somewhat inglorious career (this future physician would end his pro career with a 0-1 record) is matched by the incongruities of his surroundings: The Angels locker room was the home of silent ethnic wars and cutthroat competition.
