The Comeback
He's one of the best pitchers in baseball, but he suddenly finds that his best is no longer good enough.
After pitching a perfect game last year, Billy Wagner retired from baseball, but the Mets lured him back by offering him a fortune to pitch for one more season hoping he'd lead them to the World Series. Billy wants to finish this season on a high note - but something he didn't expect may prevent that from happening.
This is a story of friendship and courage, and the realization that when you lost something you always took for granted, you can still reach deep down inside of yourself and find something greater to replace it with.

I love reading baseball fiction, so I am sad to say that I am disappointed in this book. There are just too many unbelievable situations and coincidences that could never actually happen, if following the MLB rules and actual medical reality...
All in all, it was a fun, quick read, and I did like it for what it was.

Poorly written. It contains a lot of mistakes about the game of Major League Baseball. The author has obviously not done his research on this subject. Aside from that, this book is just boring.
