"The memoir of the life of one of the most beloved baseball players of his generation, a raw, compelling story of baseball, family, fame, addiction, loss, and a champion's resilience." --
"Baseball had been Sabathia's life since he was a kid in Vallejo, California. A star by the time he was a preteen and a professional athlete when he was still a teenager, everything he knew about how to be a person he learned in rhythm with the baseball season. He was dealing with one of the sport's most turbulent eras: racism in a sport with diminishing black presence; the era of performance-enhancing drugs; and the increasing tension between high-value contracts and sports owners who moved players around like game pieces. But his biggest struggle was with his own body and mind: Sabathia was dealing with the steady and eventually alarming breakdown of his own body and his growing addiction in a world that encouraged and enabled it. This is a story of baseball-- and of resilience and mortality and discovering what matters." --Adapted from jacket.
