Curt Davis is relatively unknown in today's baseball circles, but it should be remembered that he broke in with the Phillies in 1934 and put together, as this work proclaims, the greatest rookie season in the game's history. This unique book ranks and analyzes the 74 best freshman seasons in the history of organized baseball, from Davis's 1934 campaign to Nomar Garciaparra's 1997 season. The players are ranked according to a sabermetric analysis called Total Player Rating (TPR), which puts a numerical value on a player's overall contribution to his team's success in a given season. More precisely, the TPR represents the number of wins a player might have contributed beyond that of an average player in a given season. But rookies with high TPRs do not always win the Rookie of the Year Award; for example, in 1953 Jim Gilliam of the Dodgers did not make as valuable a contribution to Brooklyn's success as did Harvey Haddix to his St. Louis club, but Haddix finished a distant second in the National League Rookie of the Year voting.

Baseball players only have one opportunity to be named "Rookie of the Year" by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Although some recipients of this prestigious award such as Orlando Cepeda have become league MVPs, or Hall of Fame honorees, others, like Joe Charboneau, failed to live up to their initial promise. "Rookies of the Year profiles 116 winners--from Jackie Robinson (the first rookie of the year in 1947), to Rod Carew, Derek Jeter, and the 2004 honorees. Each player's initial major league season and subsequent career achievements are included. Featuring interviews with dozens of baseball stars, this is the most comprehensive book ever written on Rookies of the Year. It provides indispensable information on some of baseball's greatest athletes.

When Little League pitcher Rod Bixby accidentally breaks an opposing hitter's arm at the age of eleven, he develops a fear of hitting batters that marks the end of a promising pitching career. Instead, he becomes a successful writer and marries an exceptionally wealthy woman.Soon after their son Marshall is born, Rod's wife abandons the marriage-forcing Rod into the role of single parent.

Rod becomes the batting practice pitcher for all of Marshall's teams-from Little League to college-but Marshall's promising career is derailed at Stanford after a series of personal and academic problems. After each experiences a personal epiphany, Marshall's desire to play baseball returns, and Rod's fear of hitting batters vanishes.

The heart-wrenching, unbelievable true story of MLB pitcher Jim Morris's last-ditch attempt to join the major leagues. He Played A Boy's Game. He Lived A Man's Life. As a lonely child, Jim Morris took one thing with him wherever his family moved-his ability to hit and throw a baseball. For Jim, the passion of becoming a major-league ballplayer was his anchor and inspiration...until injuries and life got in the way. A decade after Jim walked away from the minors and began a life of fatherhood and mortgage payments, he made a promise to the hardscrabble high-school team he coached: If they could win their local championship, he would try out again for the big leagues. They did-and he did. Now, in this wondrous, heart-tugging book, Jim Morris tells the story of his remarkable life and his amazing journey to the Big Show at the age of thirty-five . . . and how he finally fulfilled his childhood dream.

In 1936, the New York Yankees wanted to test a hot prospect named Joe DiMaggio to see if he was ready for the big leagues. They knew just the ballplayer to call—Satchel Paige, the best pitcher anywhere, black or white. For the game, Paige joined a group of amateur African American players, and they faced off against a team of white major leaguers plus young DiMaggio. The odds were stacked against the less-experienced black team. But Paige's skillful batting and amazing pitching—with his "trouble ball" and "bat dodger"— kept the game close. Would the rookie DiMaggio prove himself as major league player? Or would Paige once again prove his greatness—and the injustice of segregated baseball?
