Description
"Out of My League chronicles Plimpton's first foray into participatory journalism, among players like Mickey Mantle, Billy Martin, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks, Whitey Ford, Ralph Houk, Richie Ashburn, and other baseball greats. What began as a fan's daydream comes thrillingly, sometimes humiliatingly, always vividly, to life as Plimpton shows the world what happens when an amateur takes the mound in a major league game and tries his arm against baseball's very best"--Page 4 of cover.
