Playing in the Minors

Ok, so I finished To Kill a Mockingbird in my last post and I found a new book. It's called the Bullpen Gospels, and it's about trying to find your way to the majors leagues and struggling through the minors first. I'm about a third of the way through and it is very good. Strewn with sarcasm and jokes, it makes me smile.

Anyway, as I said, it's about an aspiring baseball player who is starting to get too old to stay in the minor leagues. Dirk Hayhurst is very witty in telling his own story, but it really shows the other side of baseball, without the glitter and a lot more spit.

I never knew baseball could consume someone so entirely.

I'm gonna go read more of it now. So....bye!
