Dirk Hayhurst

Dirk Hayhurst started his literary career on the floor of his grandmother's basement. Since, he's written in minor league tour buses, flooded hotel rooms, red-eye twin-prop flights, small town bullpens, and even on the occasional big league jet. Dirk’s work was first featured at Baseball America, where he wrote The Non-Prospect Diaries (now The Bullpen Gospels, in connection with his book), a blog about the other side of the baseball dream. At the time Dirk had no idea he would someday become a big leaguer, and the column was Dirk’s way of keeping motivated, finding a new outlet for all the crazy things he encountered on the minor league trail. As it would happen, The Non-Prospect Diaries became so popular, he was approached by several newspapers, including that of his home town, The Canton Repository, where he began a column called The Bullpen Gospels. Only one year (and several thousand readers) later, Dirk was not only knocking on the door of the big leagues but in discussions to write a book as well.
