Pitcher's Story:innings With David Cone

There is no big league pitcher who is more respected for his skill than David Cone. Smart. Articulate. Physically & mentally resilient. In his stellar career Cone has won multiple championships & has received countless professional accolades. However, along the way, the perennial all-star has had to adjust to four different ballclubs, recover from a career-threatening arm aneurysm, cope with the lofty expectations that are standard practice for the game's highest paid players, & overcome a humbling three-month, eight-game losing streak in the summer of 2000. Now Cone has granted exclusive & unlimited access to baseball's most respected writer--his long-time friend, Roger Angell of The New Yorker. The result is just what baseball fans everywhere would expect from Angell: an extraordinary inside account of a superstar who examines the technical aspects of pitching, the mental preparation needed to reach the top, & how Cone has had to adjust to all the rewards & drawbacks that accompany fame & fortune in the major leagues.Angell, Roger is the author of 'Pitcher's Story:innings With David Cone' with ISBN 9780446527682 and ISBN 0446527688.
