A Major League All-Star pitcher is at the very pinnacle of his profession. It took him years of training and practice to get there. Did you ever wonder what makes him different from the thousands of other pitchers out there who trained and worked just as hard? How does he train? How does he prepare between starts? How does he start a batter off? Does he pitch to a batter the same way each time he steps up to the plate to hit? The best way to find all this out is to ask someone who did it, and then let him explain it to you in his own words. Tom Brewer did it, and he did it successfully for eight seasons with the Boston Red Sox. He pitched to Mickey Mantle, Al Kaline, Yogi Berra, and Willie Mays. He pitched to Ted Williams in Spring Training. In this book, you'll read how Tom did what he did, and see home plate through his eyes from atop the pitcher's mound.
