Synopsis

“Mays is safe at first on a fielder’s choice”, drawled the play-by-play announcer. He was describing the choice made by the fielder to put the lead runner out rather than the batter, who reached first base safely. This book, Fielder’s Choice, is about 40 players and decisions they made on or off the field that were pivotal to their playing careers, their lives after baseball, and, in some cases, their incredible recovery from failure.

The author’s unique approach connects interesting baseball stories with lessons about life. You’ll read the fascinating stories of feuding players like Juan Marichal and Johnny Roseboro, who later reconciled; of Jim Abbott and “Three Finger” Brown, who overcame significant disabilities; of Darryl Strawberry, Dan Naulty, and Bernie Carbo, who hit bottom with their addictions, but are leading influential lives today.

Baseball fans or not, readers of all ages will find Fielder’s Choice to be both interesting and inspiring.
