Description
"The candid autobiography of all-star pitcher "Sudden Sam" McDowell, whose alcohol-fueled life quickly and famously spiraled out of control, and his ultimate redemption as a counselor for other athletes suffering from addiction"--,Provided by publisher.
Description
McDowell boasted one of the fastest arms in major league baseball. Here he holds nothing back, sharing the pressures and frustrations he felt as a baseball phenom in the early 1970s, and his time playing in an alcoholic fog, beset by addiction, depression, narcissism, and thoughts of suicide. Hitting rock bottom, he found hope, rehabilitation, and sobriety. He became the first counselor in major league baseball, and helped to turn around the lives of players who, just like him, had problems that were destroying their careers.
