The extraordinary and surprising memoir of Jamie Moyer, who at age forty-nine became the oldest pitcher to ever win a game in the major leagues.

Long-time fans of the National Pastime have known Moyer’s name for more than twenty-five years. That’s because he’s been pitching in the bigs for all those years.

With his trademark three pitches: slow, slower, and slowest, the left-handed Moyer is a pinpoint specialist whose won-lost record actually got better as he got older. He’s only a few wins shy of three-hundred for his amazing career.

Moyer was just about finished as a big leaguer in his mid-twenties when he fatefully encountered a gravel-voiced, highly confrontational sports psychologist named Harvey Dorfman. Listening to the “in-your-face” insights of Dorfman, Moyer began to re-invent himself and reconstruct his approach to his game.

Moyer went on to become an All-Star and also a World Series champion.

Yogi Berra once observed that “Half of this game is 90% mental.” And Moyer’s memoir proves it.
