In this fiercely personal coming-of-age memoir, set in a time long before big money took over the sports world, Burt Golden tells the story of a poor kid from East Los Angeles with limited horizons who had a baseball scholarship at the University of Oregon . . . until suddenly he didn't. His back to the wall, he tried desperately to stay enrolled and keep his pro baseball dream alive while he battled for survival. He fought through periods of hunger, semi-homelessness, and life as a campus phantom. Through all of this he would never have guessed that a twist of fate would turn into a journey that reached beyond his East LA dreams. Nor did he have any notion that the unusual characters he associated with were destined to become shooting stars whose stories would be told for decades to come.
