Title: Best Pichers book ever!!
Review: I have read many baseball books and many book about pichers but I have never come across anything like this one. Since I am a picher and a closer myself I admire the way he can capture the excitment and heartbreak of those two unique postions. The need to block out all noise and concentrate just on the next pich, the exsileration of blowing a heater by someone and the heartbreak when you don't concentrate and he hits it out of the park.It also does a very good job at making the main person belivable. Unlike in Mike Lupica's Heat the picher isn't 12 years old and throw 80 miles an hour but he is still very good, he's just human and he makes mistakes.This is not, however, a book for anyone under about 13 because Deuker does a very good job of creating real problems off the baseball dimond as well as on it.This was, by far, the best baseball book I have ever read, very highly recomended.
