hmmmm...

Just Tell Me I Can't by Jamie Moyer has entered my stack of books. Its a good read so far mixing timelines and sports psychology. Moyer is a PA guy 1 or 2 years older than me whose baseball career was fascinating. He was a journeyman pitcher with a high school fastball who knocked around a lot but finally got cut from a team when he was about 30. Normally that means its time to pack it in. He got his brain worked on and became one of the best pitchers in baseball in his thirties and forties. He finally retired at 49 after successfully coming back from Tommy John surgery. Moyer is one of the true good guys in sports.
