Book excerpt: Philadelphia Phillies Slugger Ryan Howard, the 2006 National League MVP, steps up to the plate and goes deep with his greatest hits about life on and off the baseball field. The All-Star Home Run Derby King blasts out words of wisdom, and gives you the inside pitch on what it takes to make it in the big leagues. Go on a long drive with Ryan, from his early years growing up in St. Louis, through his climb up the mountain to the big show in Philly. Meet the characters and players who have helped shape the Big Kid's appetite for hoagies and homers. Learn how the NL Rookie of the Year came out of the crib swinging, and ended up singing the sweet tune of success. Round the bases with Ryan--from his school years slinging the trombone, to his on-field antics with a new band of brothers. Listen carefully to the first baseman's song, and you will hear the harmony and melody of an athlete blaring out notes with heart and soul. This book is suitable for young and adult readers --a good family story filled with quotes, baseball stats and information.
