Roy Rowan was a journalist for Time, Life and Fortune for thirty-five years. He is the author of seven books, including the critically acclaimed Chasing the Dragon: A Veteran Journalist's Firsthand Account of the 1946-1949 Chinese Revolution and First Dogs: American Presidents and Their Best Friends, which was made into a documentary that aired on the Discovery Channel. He lives in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Long time journalist and baseball enthusiast, Roy Rowan, takes the reader inside the hearts and locker rooms of two of minor league baseball's hottest pitching prospects. Pitching for the same team and against each other, they are from to different worlds. Justin Olson was raised on baseball in America's heartland, while Francisco Liriano discovered his skills in the sandlots of the Dominican Republic. From the sweaty bus rides of the minors to the bright lights of the big show, Roy Rowan takes the reader through the small cities and resolute players who step onto America's baseball diamonds every summer, determined to preserve America's past-time. A story for anyone whose ever dreamed of making it to the big leagues, this is an incredible baseball tale-with the grit, determination, and hope to make it a sports classic
