| | One of the most respected and successful athletes ever to grace a major-league pitcher's mound, Orel Hershiser had an approach to the game that put him in a class by himself. Now that he's retired, this Cy Young Award winner, MVP of division and World Series-winning teams, and Sports Illustrated "Sportsman of the Year" looks back on the people, the events, and the decisions that most affected his life, on the field and off. What he has to share in this book has a lot more to do with living than it ever had to do with playing baseball. Chatting casually yet revealing his innermost thoughts about the things that matter most Orel tells you of his "nine principles to live by." Regardless of who you are, where you are, or what you do, you'll find them helpful:Believe Your Coaches. No matter what you are right now a businessperson, a professional, a parent, or a student you can find someone who has been successful in that role. Orel talks about those who have coached him and how he'll never be too old to keep looking for good coaches.Anything Can Happen. Life will always deal you surprises. Even though you can't control what happens, Orel shows you how you can control your response.Lighten Up. Life is serious enough. A little laughter makes a big difference as you'll see from Orel's clubhouse stories.Live with Gratitude. Say thank you with words and actions, and reap the surprising riches of a grateful heart. From a man who was twice cut from his high school baseball team and yet rose to the pinnacle of success, BETWEEN THE LINES is both an entertaining read and full of good things to inspire and encourage you.
