Where Nobody Knows Your Name by John Feinstein
Mariano Rivera was there… Derek Jeter was there…
WHERE NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME, acclaimed author and sportswriter John Feinstein reveals the paradox that is baseball’s minor leagues and gives readers an intimate look at a world rarely if ever seen by fans.
For some players, the minors are a launching pad toward years of fame and fortune; for others, a crash-landing pad when injury or poor play forces a big leaguer back to a life of obscure ballparks and cramped buses instead of Fenway Park and charter planes.
Focusing exclusively on the Triple-A level, a step beneath Major League Baseball, Feinstein introduces readers to nine unique men. Through their compelling stories, Feinstein pulls back the veil on a league that is chock-full of gifted baseball players, managers and umpires who are all one moment away from getting called up—or back—to the majors
