"R.A. Dickey is one of the coolest athletes I've ever met-a great mixture of soul and intellect. He wanted to write his own book with the same passion he brings to his knuckleball or working the heart of the dugout between starts. This is an athlete worth knowing better." --George Vescy, New York Times, "It's a gripping memoir, a brutally honest account of family woes, childhood abuse and his failures as a husband and father. But it's also a meditation on contemporary baseball that is insightful without throwing anyone under the bus, save the author himself. (And maybe Alex Rodriguez.) It might be the finest piece of nonfiction baseball writing since Ball Four . Perhaps above all, it's a classic epic quest, a flawed hero's unlikely odyssey to the major leagues and to discovering the mystical pitch that helped him get there." --Jon Wertheim, Sports Illustrated, "R.A. Dickey is one of the coolest athletes I've ever met--a great mixture of soul and intellect. He wanted to write his own book with the same passion he brings to his knuckleball or working the heart of the dugout between starts. This is an athlete worth knowing better." --George Vescy, New York Times, "MLB's only active knuckleballer--boasts a story compelling enough to be told forthwith.... Dickey credits his faith with overcoming myriad trials both personal and professional, but it never feels as if he's preaching. Once an English-lit major and now a starting pitcher for the New York Mets, the author emerges as one of baseball's good guys, and someone who can write as well as he pitches. Dickey has set a new standard for athlete autobiographies." -- Publishers Weekly , starred review, "R.A. Dickey has a baseball story that is unlike anybody else's. If every player had his character, work ethic, and makeup, it would put a lot of managers and coaches out of work, because there would be no need for them." --Buck Showalter, manager of the Baltimore Orioles, "R.A. Dickey's book is unlike any other professional athlete's autobiography you have ever read. And that is a very good thing." --Mike Bauman, MLB.com, "It's a gripping memoir, a brutally honest account of family woes, childhood abuse and his failures as a husband and father.

Dickey, and nobody writes about them with more honesty and insight. R.A. doesn't want to be called a hero, but he is exactly that, and when you read about his life's journey and his courage, you will agree with me. This is an awesome book by an awesome man." --Orel Hershiser, ESPN Sunday Night Baseball analyst, former MLB All-Star "A wonderful and powerful new memoir." --Jim Caple, ESPN "I can't recommend Wherever I Wind Up enough." -Gary Cohen, SportsNet NY (SNY) "R.A.

Synopsis
The perfect gift for baseball fans, now with a new epilogue by author R.A. Dickey, winner of the 2012 Cy Young award. "An astounding memoir-haunting and touching, courageous and wise."-Jeremy Schaap, bestselling author, Emmy award-winning journalist, ESPN In 1996, R.A. Dickey was the Texas Rangers' much-heralded No. 1 draft choice. Then, a routine physical revealed that his right elbow was missing its ulnar collateral ligament, and his lifelong dream-along with his $810,000 signing bonus-was ripped away. Yet, despite twice being consigned to baseball's scrap heap, Dickey battled back. Sustained by his Christian faith, the love of his wife and children, and a relentless quest for self-awareness, Dickey is now the starting pitcher for the Toronoto Blue Jays (he was previously a star pitcher for the New York Mets) and one of the National League's premier players, as well as the winner of the 2012 Cy Young award. In Wherever I Wind Up , Dickey eloquently shares his quintessentially American tale of overcoming extraordinary odds to achieve a game, a career, and a life unlike any other., The perfect gift for baseball fans, now with a new epilogue by author R.A.

- 6***m (821)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoGood transaction. I received this book in good time. It was nicely packaged (with several other books), so no damage to it while in transit. It is in good condition, and looks just as it was described and photographed in the listing. What more do you want in an eBay transaction? I’ve bought a few from this seller and wouldn't have any hesitation in buying from them again. Thank you!
- 2***o (82)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimo annoAcquisto verificatoOrdered Tuesday night. Shipped early Wednesday morning. Arrived on time Saturday morning by USPS Bound Printed Matter from TN to WI. It was packaged in a gray plastic shipping bag without cushioning. End of spine had minor shipping damage (see photos). It was the only noticeable condition issue on an otherwise very good used cookbook. Exceptional value. Good experience with a not-for-profit organization. Thanks!Taste of Home Quick Cooking Annual Recipes 2009 (N° 125985802207)
- _***u (1629)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoWow, pleasantly surprised to receive a brand new copy still in the shrink wrap, although it has a little bump on the top cover that goes through to several pages, makes no difference, as I got the book at a bargain price. Fast shipping, very happy with my purchase, I recommend this seller!
