The 33-Year-Old Rookie: How I Finally Made it to… door Chris Coste
It was a fun little read about one of baseballs good guys. Nothing special or earth shattering, but a cute little enjoyable book. One any baseball fan should be able to enjoy.
A hardworking, dedicated man spends 11 years in the minor leagues before becoming a major league baseball player with the Philadelphia Phillies.
What I really loved about this book was Coste's voice throughout: the straightforward yet very personal and intense narrative, coupled with the deadpan bits of humor that left me laughing hysterically. His story is also incredible; it's impossibleto count the number of times he was completely screwed by coaches and scouts alike, yet he stuck with baseball and was rewarded by finally becoming a Phillies player. Coste's patience throughout his 11 years in the minors one unfairness after another is dumbfounding; I'm sure nine out of ten people would have stormed off the field and called it quits after enduring less than half of what Coste went through. Overall, this was a fantastic book, one which I recommend for anyone.… (meer)
