Publisher's Synopsis
This book is the product of a journal kept by Steve Lyons throughout his baseball career. It is a view from an athlete who didn't always make the highlight films, but who represents the majority of the players on a professional sports team. Lyons gives a fresh insider's perspective on player endorsements, entertaining the crowd, batting slumps, player recognition, clubhouse camaraderie, the strike of 94-95, and much more. Lyons will also be remembered for something he would rather forget. A night in Detroit when he slid into first base and then took his ants off to get the first out -- in front of a national TV audience.
