Description
Description
The classic inside account of a baseball year by a major league pitcher. It begins, appropriately, with the winter doldrums and sweating out a new contract, then follows the author and his family to spring training in Florida and through the full season's schedule to October. One of the best baseball books ever written. It is probably one of the best American diaries as well. --New York Times Book Review

Critical Reviews
"One of the best baseball books ever written. It is probably one of the best American diaries as well." - New York Times
"Takes readers inside the clubhouse, the dugout, and the bullpen-not to mention the airplane, the train and the hotel room-in ways no sportswriter ever has." - Washington Post
"Rich and always interesting....This is the most authentic and convincing book about baseball I have ever read." - Los Angeles Times
"Funny, candid, and even more interesting because it doesn't chronicle an exceptional season (something Brosnan reserved for his second book, Pennant Race, 1962), this book was a game changer." - Booklist
"Brosnan provides a dose of humor, a touch of self-deprecation and a shot of unvarnished reality." - Plain Dealer
"Wonderful reading [from] the Samuel Pepys of the league champions." - San Francisco Chronicle
"Jim Brosnan is a gifted observer.... His book is beautifully constructed." - Herald Tribune
