In Cage Rat, Long—with help from his spirited wife, Marcey—takes readers on an unforgettable journey from his early days in the minor leagues, to his major-league dreams of playing with the Kansas City Royals, to his dramatic decision to turn to coaching, to the fateful call from the Yankees.

From bat angle to grip, from plate coverage to athletic stance and hitting drills, Long takes us into the Yankees’ batting cage, showing us how major-league players hone their hitting skills.
Chock-full of inspirational stories, practical advice, behind-the-scenes action, and instructional photographs, Cage Rat is a must-read for young athletes, aspiring players, Yankees fans, and anyone who loves baseball.
