Habe mir das Buch nach einer Empfehlung im Baseball Today Podcast gekauft und bin begeistert. Erzählt wird aus der Sicht des Autors Dirk Hayhurst der als bis dahin wenig erfolgreicher Pitcher der Padres versucht seine Karriere in diversen Minor Leagues auf den richtigen Weg (in die MLB) zu bringen. Dank des witzigen Schreibstils und des sympathischen Humors und Charakters des Autors wird man bestens unterhalten und erfährt nebenbei auch noch einige interessante Dinge über das wenig glamouröse Leben eines Minor League Pitchers.
This book is by turns real, insane, funny, and sobering. It's about one mans journey to make it to big league baseball. It's an inside look at the grind that is minor league baseball it's about self discovery and a stick to itness again all odds. It's about over coming obstacles and achieving your goals as much as it is about finding out who you really are and where you're headed. If you like an insiders take on baseball then you'll love this book. I certainly did. More Please.
This was a mostly enjoyable baseball book, with its focus on the life of a minor league bullpen pitcher. But the author spent too much time regaling us with sophomoric tales of sometimes rowdy, sometimes raunchy capers of his teammates in places such as Lake Elsinore, California, and a few Texas League oases. Sometimes the anecdotes were funny and the dialog humorous, but for the most part, they were flat. Apparently baseball players are just like college frat rats when they're not on the field. Probably the reader could spin tales as good or even better from his or her past. I would have liked to have read more inside baseball. I would have like to know more about what it's like to be out on the field and not so much about the locker room or the team bus. There was some of that, but not enough. Hayhurst is a pretty good writer, but I think he was trying to do too much in this book: make it interesting, make it humorous, make it poignant and still make it a good baseball book. It's not a bad baseball book -- it gives one a fair taste for what it's like to be a perpetual minor leaguer -- but it could have been better. As I say, it's a good -- but not great -- baseball book.
It's strange to find a book that's wholesome and raunchy and poignant at the same time, but I guess that's the life of a sensitive, mild guy who has thrown his lot in with big-time athletics. It's a great read for anyone who loves baseball and enjoys descriptions of life on the road among stunted adolescents. There's not much baseball wisdom and no baseball strategy or statistics, but it's full of wonderfully funny descriptions of players, ballparks, and that special feeling of being a competitive athlete (and of the kinds of things that happen that can bring you down off your pedestal, too).The author, Dirk Hayhurst, is part of the Animal House atmosphere that pervades any male college or pro locker room in any sport, but he's a bit uncomfortable with it and a bit aloof. You get the feeling that he does a lot of watching and a lot of quietly returning to his hotel room or apartment, while the guys go out and party. And you get the feeling that the guys think he's okay, but none of them really consider him a good friend. (It's how I've aleays felt when I've been thrown into locker room situations.)First, the raunchy. It's mild by baseball tell-all standards, but there's all sorts of things about players farting in each other's faces, talking about how big their "packages" are, etc. Hayhurst does a good job of showing how humor pervades the clubhouse and brings together guys from different backgrounds and cultures --- and guys who are, ultimately, competing against each other for the attention of the major league general manager.Then, the poignant. Early in the book, after a couple of chapters about the silliness of spring training speeches, Hayhurst gives a glimpse at why he's sticking it out in Class A minors after four years of not doing very well. First, there's black humor about living with his crotchetly grandmother, who makes him sleep on a plastic-covered mattress in a junk-filled room and tells him "Go to hell" whenever he suggests that she actually throw out some junk. The next chapter describes his family, which can only be called hellish: A father who's fallen into depression due to a accident 20 years ago that left him mostly incapacitated; a drunk brother who beat up Hayhurst repeatedly throughout their teen years; and a mom burned out by caring for the two deadbeats. The trio of losers lives on welfare, and Hayhurst visits them as rarely as possible, as all he gets from them is anger and indifference that he has actually tried to make something of himself.Then, the wholesome. Hayhurst is a rules follower, which makes him an anomaly in baseball circles (and in his own family culture). He is a meek guy. He doesn't drink, and he's a virgin late into his 20s. This comes out about midway through the book, as he gives a glimpse into his hope for a pristine life without alcohol-fueled violence and with a lovely, caring wife. As the book chronicles a season in which he had his most significant success in the minors and moves up to AA for a team that wins a championship, he gets into the wholesome, cliched baseball writing that went out of style in about 1960's kids' books. Needless to say, I didn't like the part about "the team came together ... one for all, all for one," etc. But those are likely to be genuine feelings, so you can't argue with it.The book ends on an even more upbeat note. I won't spoil it.
"Well, baseball is a lot of things, but it's not everything."When I was a young lad, baseball was everything to me. Becoming a Major League Baseball player was the only dream I ever knew. I remember clearly the day I found out that the big leaguers actually get paid to play. And not only did they get paid, they get paid loads of money. My tiny child brain could not comprehend why someone would pay me to play baseball when I would do it for free. Heck, my parents were playing the city league so I could play.Quickly we all grow up, we begin to understand the dirty reality that is professional baseball. Though our dreams persevere, the road to the majors - both literal and metaphorical - is long and arduous. Dirk Hayhurst is the quintessential minor league veteran. He hops from town to town, bus to bus, level to level trying to find his main purpose. The Bullpen Gospels beautifully intertwines the absurdity of minor league baseball with life's most significant problems. In the moment a relief pitcher dealing with a full count with men on base appears crucial, however couple this moment with the tragedy of dysfunctional family and everything gets a new perspective.Dirk Hayhurst is an incredible communicator. Once you start this book, it is nearly impossible to set down. A great book.
