Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When I got home from the 2007 Double A championship season, I was greeted by my mother, who was waiting impatiently for me to get home so she could drive me to work the next morning. I was still part of an event I could always be proud of, but in the grand scheme of the minor league economy, my name in a record book was just that. #2 The life of a minor league baseball player is difficult. You are always waiting for the next season to end so you can find out if you have made the team or not, and then you have to find a job. #3 When I returned home, I had a lot to take care of. I needed a job, transportation, a place to train, and the courage to ask my grandmother for the car. Before all that could happen, I needed to finish raking the leaves from the driveway.
