My WorksStill Pitching: A Memoir
Still Pitching is a coming-of-age memoir about being an adolescent outsider, about the fierce drive and determination to become a baseball pitcher, about being a die-hard Brooklyn Dodger fan during an era that sports historians still refer to as "the golden age of New York baseball," and about what it felt like to grow up Jewish in New York City in the 50's. At another level, it is about desire and yearning, determination and resilience. Still Pitching focuses not on heroic deeds but on the achievements and satisfactions that result from the human struggle to keep on striving.
