Description
Book SynopsisAn entertaining and illuminating inside look at Major League Baseball through the words of the players themselves.
Imagine you had the opportunity to sit down with ballplayers such as Hank Aaron, Greg Maddux, Don Zimmer, and Nolan Ryan. You might ask them about the star players they faced, the obstacles they overcame, the strategies that led to their success. Or you might just talk about life in the majors and what they have been up to since hanging up their cleats.
In Talking Baseball with Major League Stars, Wayne Stewart provides readers with all that and more. Featuring over 45 years of interviews, Stewart details the history, tactics, and inside stories of the national pastime with unique perspectives that only the players could provide. They discuss the most difficult pitchers they faced, the unwritten rules, the game's wildest players, cheating, intimidation, the players they most admire, racism in and around the sport, their fears and doubts, and candid stories from their time in the majors.
Including exclusive insight from more than fifty Hall of Famers and countless award winners, and covering nearly one hundred different topics, Talking Baseball with Major League Stars is a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey into the world of professional baseball.
