Bigger Than the Game by Dirk Hayhurst

Bigger Than The Game: Restitching a Major League Career by Dirk Hayhurst

Bigger Than The game is Hayhurst’s 2nd full season in MLB, which ends up being an entire season on the DL. It’s darker than his previous books, diving into issues of team chemistry when you are the odd duck on the team, as well as the physical and mental challenges of playing baseball, and recovering from injury, and ultimately dealing with the reality that your sports career is coming to an end. Of course he has some hilarious stories to mix in, but this is clearly a more personal book than his previous efforts.
