From the Publisher:
Hailed by critics as one of the great books about baseball, "Odd Man Out" captures the gritty essence of our national pastime as it is played outside the spotA-light.
Matt McCarthy, a decent left-handed starting pitcher on one of the worst squads in Yale history, earned a ticket to spring training as the twenty-sixth-round draft pick of the 2002 Anaheim Angels.
This is the hilarious inside story of his year with the Provo Angels, Anaheim's minor league affiliate in the heart of Mormon country, as McCarthy navigates the ups and downs of an antic, grueling season, filled with cross-country bus trips, bizarre rivalries, and wild locker-room hijinks.

If you take all the rods out of the CN Tower in Toronto, and lay them end to end.
It will fall over.
