An insider's revealing look at the hidden world of major
league baseball Doug Glanville, a former major league outfielder and Ivy
League graduate, draws on his nine seasons in the big
leagues to reveal the human side of the game and of the men
who play it. In The Game from Where I Stand, Glanville shows us how
players prepare for games, deal with race and family
issues, cope with streaks and slumps, respond to trades and
injuries, and learn the joyful and painful lessons the game
imparts. We see the flashpoints that cause
misunderstandings and friction between players, and the
imaginative ways they work to find common ground. And
Glanville tells us with insight and humor what he learned
from Jimmy Rollins, Alex Rodriguez, Randy Johnson, Barry
Bonds, Curt Schilling, and other legendary and
controversial stars. In his professional career, Glanville experienced every
aspect of being a player—the first-round pick, the
prospect, the disappointment, the can't-miss, the
cornerstone, the veteran, the traded, the injured, the
comeback kid. His eye-opening book gives fans a new level
of understanding of day-to-day life in the big leagues.
