À propos de cet audio

Upon its release, The Bullpen Gospels was a direct hit to the New York Times best seller list. With comparisons to Jim Boutons’s Ball Four, The Bullpen Gospels is slated to be a classic of the genre.

From the humble heights of a Class-A pitcher’s mound to the deflating lows of sleeping on his gun-toting grandmother’s air mattress, veteran reliever Dirk Hayhurst steps out of the bullpen to deliver the best pitch of his career—a raw and unflinching account of his life in the minors.

Whether training tarantulas to protect his room from thieving employees in a backwater hotel or absorbing the gentle mockery of some not-quite-starstruck schoolchildren, Hayhurst reveals a side of baseball—and life—rarely seen on ESPN.

Reminds me of dressing room talk. Every sport and team has their slang. I never played baseball, but i loved how ray porter places you in the room with 5 ball players ripping on each other.

Great dialogue

My favourite thing about this book is that it isn't written by a ball player who went on to have a glorious career. That's no slight on Dirk, but it was refreshing to see that everything doesn't follow an easy path. Not everyone who "wants it" gets to have it.

This book pairs quite well with the movie Bull Durham. Both are fantastic glimpses into life in the minors.

Great inside look at the game

Performer does well with the material provided. Stories were uninteresting and not funny. the "ZaNy CoNfLiCt" in the locker room felt boring and could easily be swapped with any other environment.
