The Suitors Of Spring (2014)

About book The Suitors Of Spring (2014)

Before publication of FALSE SPRING, the memoir of his flameout from professional baseball, Pat Jordan gathered seven articles focusing on pitchers who were at varied degrees of development at that time: from blue-chip high school prospect Art DeFilippis (I'd never heard of him, either), to All-Stars Tom "Terrific" Seaver and "Sudden" Sam McDowell, to former celebrated big leaguers Johnny Sain and Bo Belinski. Jordan, inevitably, is far more fascinated with failure and wasted potential than he is with stories of success; the piece on Seaver feels a little flat, those on Belinski and Steve Dalkowski, the 100 MPH prospect who could never harness his stuff long enough to achieve a place in the big leagues, fairly sing.
