Description

Minor league baseball is quintessentially American: small towns, small stadiums, $5 tickets, $2 hot dogs, the never-ending possibility of making it big. But looming above it all is all the time the true deal: Major League Baseball. John Feinstein takes the reader at the back of the curtain into the guarded world of the minor leagues, like no other creator can. Where No one Knows Your Name explores the trials and travails of the inhabitants of Triple-A, specializing in nine men, including players, managers and umpires, among many colorful characters, living at the cusp of the dream. The book tells the stories of former World Series hero Scott Podsednik, giving it one more shot; Durham Bulls manager Charlie Montoya, shepherding generations across the line; and designated hitter Jon Lindsey, a lifelong minor leaguer, looking forward to his day to come. From Raleigh to Pawtucket, from Lehigh Valley to Indianapolis and beyond, that is an intimate and exciting take a look at life in the minor leagues, where you’re either looking forward to the call or just passing through.
