Download Out of My League: The Classic Hilarious Account of an Amateur's Ordeal in Professional Baseball AudioBook Free
The baseball antique that Ernest Hemingway called "beautifully witnessed and intensely conceived", now saved and including a foreword from Jane Leavy. The first of Plimpton's amazing forays into participatory journalism, Out of My Category chronicles with wit, appeal, and grace what happens when a self-professed amateur has the chance to answer every fan's question: could he hit out a significant league superstar? Plimpton's encouraged idea - to get on the mound and pitch a few innings to the All-Stars of the American and National Leagues - starts as a fun-filled stunt and involves a deeply hellish, almost humiliating end. This genuine and hilarious story features Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Whitey Ford, Ralph Houk, and other football greats and it is "a baseball publication such as no person else ever composed, and among the finest ever".
