Synopsis
Pat Jordan's 1975 memoir about his one-year career in the Major Leagues, A False Spring, was a surprising and remarkable success that Time magazine hailed as "one of the best and truest books about baseball and coming to maturity in America". Twenty years later and not entirely content with the creature comforts of middle age, Jordan decides to return to America's favorite pastime and pitch again in this wonderfully humerous and warmly touching memoir of faded sports dreams that can't entirely be abandoned.
