<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The subject of "The Rookie" a new film being released by Disney, this is the inspiring, true story of how Jim Morris became the major league's oldest rookie pitcher in 40 years and how long-buried dreams can return to redeem a life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>He Played A Boy's Game. He Lived A Man's Life. As a lonely child, Jim Morris took one thing with him wherever his family moved-his ability to hit and throw a baseball. For Jim, the passion of becoming a major-league ballplayer was his anchor and inspiration...until injuries and life got in the way. <p/> A decade after Jim walked away from the minors and began a life of fatherhood and mortgage payments, he made a promise to the hardscrabble high-school team he coached: If they could win their local championship, he would try out again for the big leagues. They did-and he did. Now, in this wondrous, heart-tugging book, Jim Morris tells the story of his remarkable life and his amazing journey to the Big Show at the age of thirty-five . . . and how he finally fulfilled his childhood dream.
