Used. Hardcover. Most men hang up their cleats long before middle age, but Jim Morris traded his fastball for chalkboards only to find that baseball had one more curveball left to throw. This inspiring biography charts his improbable leap from high school physics teacher back to the bruising realities of the minor leagues, proving that sometimes you just have to trust the physics of a ninety-mile-per-hour heater. Morris and Engel capture the grit of a diamond dream deferred and the chaotic chemistry of a comeback that baffled the odds-makers. It is a sharply observed, deeply human story about the stubborn persistence required to chase a fading horizon. Grab a copy before it strikes out of our inventory entirely.
