HTML:<p><b>The <i>New York Times</i> bestseller from the author of <i>The Bullpen Gospels</i>. "</b><b>A humorous, candid and insightful memoir . . . Grade: Home Run."—<i>Cleveland Plain Dealer</i></b><br /> After six years in the minors, pitcher Dirk Hayhurst hopes 2008 is the year he breaks into the big leagues. But every time Dirk looks up, the bases are loaded with challenges—a wedding balancing on a blind hope, a family in chaos, and paychecks that beg Dirk to ask, "How long can I afford to keep doing this?"<br /> Then it finally happens—Dirk gets called up to the Majors, to play for the San Diego Padres. A dream comes true when he takes the mound against the San Francisco Giants, kicking off forty insane days and nights in the Bigs.<br /> Like the classic games of baseball's history, <i>Out of My League</i> entertains from the first pitch to the last out, capturing the gritty realities of playing on the big stage, the comedy and camaraderie in the dugouts and locker rooms, and the hard-fought, personal journeys that drive our love of America's favorite pastime.<br /> "A rare gem of a baseball book."—Tom Verducci, <i>Sports Illustrated</i><br /> "Observant, insightful, human, and hilarious."—Bob Costas<br /> <br /> "A fun read . . . This book shows why baseball is so often used as a metaphor for life."—Keith Olbermann<br /> "Entertaining and engaging . . . reminiscent of Jim Bouton's <i>Ball Four</i>."—<i>Booklist</i><br /> "The book is a terrific read. If you loved <i>Bullpen Gospels</i> (I'd have a hard time believing you are a baseball fan if you didn't) you will love <i>Out of My League</i> too."—Bluebird Banter</p>. Biography & Autobiography.
