Non-Fiction Memoir
Long-time fans of the National Pastime have known Moyer's
name for more than 25 years. That's because he's been
pitching in the bigs for all those years.
With his
trademark three pitches - slow, slower, and slowest - the
left-handed Moyer is a pinpoint specialist whose won-lost
record actually got better as he got older -- from his 20s
to his 30s and into 40s. He's only a few wins shy of 300 for
his amazing career.
But this is where the book takes
an unusual turn. Moyer was just about finished as a big
leaguer in his mid-20s until he fatefully encountered a
gravel-voiced, highly confrontational sports psychologist
named Harvey Dorfman. Listening to the "in-your-face"
insights of Dorfman, Moyer began to re-invent himself and
reconstruct his approach to his game. Moyer went on to
become an All-Star and also a World Series
champion.
Yogi Berra once observed that "Half of this
game is 90% mental." And Moyer's memoir proves it.
