Dreams Not Batted In
OK, so I'm half way through the book, and I see why many people are comparing Dirk Hayhurst to JD Salinger, his book is REALLY well done. Anyway, so right now in the book Dirk has just gotten booted out of double-A and is now stuck back in Single-A division, one step further away from the big leagues. Hayhurst, through his struggles thus far, shows how axing it is putting your whole heart and soul into something and getting nothing in return. That's the main conflict in the book; that Hayhurst is wondering whether or not he should continue his dream, or if 26 is too late for a failing pitcher.

This book seems so sad, but you're not the kind of person that I would expect to be reading a sports book. But then again you are a very passionate person, as is the pitcher in this book. ~Lexi
