I enjoyed hearing about the pressure and inside stories of the big leagues, but found it hard to believe that the author was still a virgin before he got married, and so was his wife. The story in the beginning of the book, about his trying not to lie to her about the porn in the locker room, was annoying. It's porn. It's baseball. What did she think happened in the locker room? There was a little too much religion going on, but baseball wise it was full of funny and interesting details. ( ) This fictionalized coming-of-age memoir follows Hayhurst from the off-season after The Bullpen Gospels ends, through the next season. In this year he meets and marries a wonderful girl, reconciles with his family, and fulfills his lifelong professional ambition of pitching in the Major Leagues. A sometimes painful, often funny, and deeply personal look at the baseball life. OUT OF MY LEAGUE by Dirk Hayhurst This book is written by and spoken from Dirk's point of view as he is the one going through all of it. Talk of him growing up in his family where his dad would help him by coaching in baseball. Over time it's all Dirk wants to do. Being in the minor league hasn't amounted to a big pay check and because of what he shows on the mound he is moved to the major league where things turn around ten fold for him. Liked how he handled the let down of losing a game and that others could see it also. Love the guy talk and pranks along the way. A man would super really love this book as they could relate more to the things that happen. I just like baseball so the story line was interesting to keep me reading through 400 pages. A plus was the romance to Bonnie and how the book and season follows her as well in every day life. Besides traveling to different new places to me, there is also a lot I was able to learn. The most funnier things were the beer bag and princess knapsack. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
