With a seemingly effortless motion, pinpoint control, a blazing, dancing fastball, and an unequaled competitive spirit, Robin Roberts enjoyed one of the most celebrated careers in baseball history. His many accomplishments on the mound helped to make him one of the more distinguished residents of Cooperstown, and he will always be remembered as the most dominant National League pitcher of his time. But Roberts is as impressive a storyteller as he is an athlete, and his experiences and encounters leading up to, throughout, and following his incredible 19-year career have made for an extraordinary life. My Life in Baseball is Roberts' own account, recalling his childhood, his playing days, and life after baseball with great clarity and compassion. Growing up the son of an immigrant coal miner in Springfield, Illinois, Roberts blossomed into a two-sport star and later played both basketball and baseball at Michigan State University. Singing with the Philadelphia Phillies, he made his major league debut in the summer of 1948 and became one of the most notable sports figures of the fifties. He was one of the biggest stars in baseball's glorious golden era, playing with and against some of the most revered figures in the game's history. With remarkable accuracy and detail, Roberts describes games, events, and various encounters on and off the field with the likes of Stan Musial, Jackie Robinson, Joe DiMaggio, Warren Spahn, Richie Ashburn, Mickey Mantle, Leo Durocher, and scores of others. He recalls being awed by the raw talent of a rookie named Mays, and taken aback by the Clemente. His memories of playing for the Whiz Kids-the hustling, pennant-winning 1950 Phillies-bring one of the sport's most entertaining seasons of all time back to life, and the stories of his brief stay with the Yankees portray the human sides of some of the biggest icons the game has ever known. Roberts chronicles his heydays with the Phillies, in which he dominated opposing lineups, as well as the twilight of his career-when he had occasional trouble convincing teams, and sometimes himself, that he could still pitch at the highest level. He discusses his considerable involvement in the MLB Players Association and the evolution of baseball's labor movement, his struggles to find a career outside of baseball, and the drastic changes the game has experienced over the past half century. Roberts' life in baseball has been an exceptional one, and so is his story.
