Darling was a great pitcher for the Mets during the 80ies, is currently an excellent announcer in the Mets television booth, and now it turns out, he's a talented writer as well. The Complete Game gives us vivid and fascinating descriptions of some of the most important games during Darling's career. But he also goes beyond that, and brings the reader into the mind of the professional pitcher and what makes them tick. A compelling read ! ( ) As a long time Mets fan, I have always liked Ron Darling and what I thought of as his no-nonsense approach to pitching. This is a no-nonsense book, part pitching advice, part autobiography, all good reading. Darling writes directly and honestly about mistakes, bad attitude, and the pain of realizing it is time to end his pitching career. Great book! As a disclaimer, I am a Mets fan and regularly watch Ron Darling as one of the commentators on SNY. That said, this book is the best baseball book I have ever read because it is all about the game. Ron Darling takes a look at each inning from different games he has been in, commenting on the different things a pitcher will face. I never thought about how different the 2nd inning would be from the 4th inning or even the 5th to the 6th, but by that time the batter could have seen the pitcher a few times, and vice versa. Mr. Darling is a smart man and it shows in this book. A must read for any baseball fan. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
World Series champion, former All-Star, and award-winning television analyst Ron Darling gives readers a inside look at one of the most demanding and strategic positions in all of sports: the pitcher. Drawing on vivid situations from his playing days for the New York Mets and the Oakland Athletics, and from moments he has observed as a broadcaster, Darling offers an engaging look at the art, strategy, and psychology of pitching. Throughout, we get a glimpse of what it feels like to stand alone on the mound, the center of attention for thousands of fans. No other book examines the position in such compelling depth--The Complete Game will be an essential book for every fan and aspiring player. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
