It details how a passion for baseball--a passion fueled by New York's \"golden age of baseball,\" during which one of New York's three baseball teams made it to the World Series for ten consecutive years--transformed the author from an introverted outsider into a popular high school pitcher. Readers will cringe at schoolyard slights, root for Mike to figure things out, rejoice in his triumphs, and above all, remember how confusing and exciting life is on the route to adulthood.\u003cbr\u003e Baseball makes everything possible. Steinberg's love of the game fuels his first success as a writer and then teaches him about discipline, persistence, and hard work. As if by accident, Steinberg learns exactly the skills he needs to become a confident adult and subsequently learns to follow his passion to become a writer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Michigan State University Press","offers":[{"title":"Still Pitching: A Memoir | Michael Steinberg | Hardcover | 9780870136979 | Used: Like New | Memoir 1777959 (temp: 7)","offer_id":49771018682520,"sku":"1777959","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/7162UX9_fyL.jpg?v=1788120254","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/still-pitching-a-memoir","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
