Jocks Have Feelings Too

I read Dirk Hayhurst’s The Bullpen Gospels last spring and loved the book. It’s an easy read and broken into short, entertaining chapters. Hayhurst tells the tale of a minor league pitcher desperately hanging onto his big league dream. What no doubt started as a journal documenting varying degrees self-doubt and bullpen dick jokes evolved into the minor league version of Jim Bouton’s classic Ball Four.
