Pitching in a Pinch

The author was a very successful pitcher at the time this book was written, and unlike most autobiographies today, was also a decent writer. Chapters of this book read like newspaper columns (which some of them may have been), expounding on the pitchers views of managers, hitters, fielders, pitchers, and umpires. As much anecdotes as analysis, this easy-reading book remains relevant today. Recommended for baseball historians and true fans, probably over the head of anyone else.
