Author: Pat Jordan
Paperback · April 2000
A baseball prodigy since the age of ten, Pat Jordan had been interviewed on television and written about in newspapers at an early age.
Signed as a pitcher by the Milwaukee Braves upon his graduation from high school, he believed his success would continue for years to come. But after three diminishing seasons in the minor leagues, he was cut from the roster and began painfully constructing a new life. In the wreckage of his baseball career, Jordan found new success as a writer. But his past and early promise still tugged at him. So, at age fifty-six, Jordan decided to pitch again.
A Nice Tuesday chronicles Jordan's decision to return to the mound, his struggle to get back into shape, and his ultimately successful quest to pitch for the Waterbury (Connecticut) Spirit - despite the aches and pains of middle age, his fear of not being taken seriously, and his own quixotic sense of enterprise. |  |
