SummaryTable of Contents
You don't know John Rocker. I mean, really, you may have been in the packed stadiums or caught him on television at the height of his career pitching in a World Series for the Atlanta Braves, or in the American League playoffs for the Cleveland Indians. Maybe you caught him with one of the other various teams he was with during his career. And no doubt you've heard or read controversies over some of his public comments. But the REAL John Rocker is going to surprise you. This book, written almost entirely from Rocker's own personal hand, is a coming of age story about a young kid who was "bitten" with the dream to become a Major Leaguer. Detailing the rise and ultimate fall, Rocker offers a never before heard rendition of his life, career as well as personal accounts of the infamous Sports Illustrated article for which he is most known.
