Book Description
“My Time At Bat” is one man’s tale of success in a career where the odds were clearly not in his favor—in Major League Baseball.

He offers many principles to live by that will benefit everyone, male or female, in any walk of life. After all, it was important to him to be more than a Major League player. He strove to be a Major Person in everything he did. In the early ’60s, he led the Senators in batting three out of the four seasons he played for the team. He also led that team in stolen bases and triples all four years. His Minor League career highlights include 1959 Rookie of the Year, back-to-back league batting championships and league Most Valuable Player. As you embark on his journey, you will see what it was like to be in the Major Leagues — and what it took to stay there.
