An inspiring baseball memoir from Philadelphia Phillies catcher Chris Coste, who made it to the major leagues in 2006 at the age of thirty-three after eleven years in the minors.
Chris Coste dreamed of playing major-league baseball from the age of seven. But after eleven grueling years in the minors, a spot on a major-league roster still seemed just out of his reach-until that fateful call came from the Philadelphia Phillies in May 2006. At age thirty-three (“going on eighty”), Coste was finally heading to the big time. The 33-Year-Old Rookie is a real-life Rocky, an unforgettable and inspirational story of one man’s unwavering pursuit of a lifelong goal. Beginning in a single-parent home in Fargo, North Dakota, and ending behind home plate on the flawless diamond of the Phillies’ Citizens Bank Park-where fans and teammates call him “Chris Clutch” because of his knack for getting timely hits-this intimate account of Coste’s baseball odyssey is a powerful story of determination, perseverance, and passion.
