About this title

Synopsis

In A False Spring, Pat Jordan traces the falling star of his once-promising pitching career, illuminating along the way his equally difficult personal struggles and quest for maturity. When the reader meets Jordan, he is a hard-throwing pitcher with seemingly limitless potential, one of the first � bonus babies� for the Milwaukee Braves organization. Jordan� s sojourn through the lower levels of minor-league ball takes him through the small towns of America: McCook, Waycross, Davenport, Eau Claire, and Palatka. As the promised land of the majors recedes because of his inconsistency and lack of control, the young man who had previously known only glory and success is forced to face himself.

Store Description

I am not a professional book seller. Rather, I am a retired person who has collected thousands of books over a long life. At the end of this long life it is time to reduce and simplify in number and quality most of my personal possessions. All books I intend to list are As New, most are first editions, and many are signed. They have been properly treated and stored and are all from my collection. A very few, clearly marked, do not fit into that description but no book offered for sale will diminish the quality of a collection or store offering.
