Synopsis

For former ballplayers, career transitions aren't as simple as switching jobs. Imagine excelling at something since you were a child, having it become your job, and reaching great professional heights as a young adult--then, often within just a few years, having to accept everything you've worked toward is over, and likely not on your terms. What follows is not just the challenge of finding a new profession but of forging a new identity.

Through 49 first-person stories of major and minor leaguers, this book gives readers a greater understanding of what players face when they hang up their spikes.
