Oldest Rookie, Big Leage dreams from a small Town Guy (basis for "The Rookie" movie)

Jimmy Morris

I think that the author (Joe Engel) did a great job with this book. I loved this book and would recommend this book to all people who enjoy reading sports books like I do. I don't read very much so if I can read it pretty much anybody can read it.<br /><br /> This book is about Jim Morris and his exciting road to the majors and how he keeps his head up and keeps trying to accomplish his dream of becoming a major league pitcher. You find out that Jimmy couldn't live without sports but had to deal with it because of his family. His family was a military family so his family moved all the time so he could never make long-term friends or even finish one season of baseball with the same team it seems like. It didn't help that Jimmy was the only thing in common between his parents.<br /><br /> This story would inspire a lot of people because Jimmy kept going when his body was bringing him down. Anybody who is feeling like they should give up should just read this book. This is a great book for all people.
