Synopsis:
“The ultimate comeback story . . . Funny, sweet, and painfully honest . . . Jordan, the big league writer, will be remembered far longer than most of the big league ballplayers he aspired to join.” —Jim Bouton, author of Ball Four
“There’s something at once pathetic and moving about middle-aged men reliving their youthful athletic success. Thankfully, Jordan knows this and pokes frequent fun at himself in this memoir.” —Publishers Weekly
“[An] entertaining autobiographical account of a middle-aged man’s pursuit of unfulfilled dreams . . . [His] frankness is what gives overall credence to his story and ruminations, helped greatly by his skillful writing, which shifts easily from bawdy bravado to humor to insightful introspection.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This second installment of Jordan’s saga, often raunchy but still touching, is heartily recommended.” —Library Journal
