Known for his crazy fastball pitches, Jack has never had a problem
striking a batter out. Until now.
This season, he's playing in a new league where the distance to the
catcher's mitt is a lot greater, and he can't get seem to get into the
strike zone.
Then a baseball coach at a local college shows Jack some new pitches and
tells him about Steve Dalkowski, who never made it out of the minor
leagues because he wouldn't throw other pitches. At first Jack doesn't
listen to the coach's advice, but with the season on the line, he
realizes that the coach was right. Is it too late to change his game
plan?
In this installment of his Sports Story series, author Fred Bowen shows
readers how to battle the ache of disappointment and rise to new
challenges. Readers can learn more about pitching phenoms Steve
Dalkowski and Sandy Koufax and their Major League Baseball careers in
the afterword.
