But he's also the greatest player who may never enter the Hall of Fame because of his lifetime ban from the sport. Perhaps no other ballplayer's story is so representative of the triumphs and tragedies of our national pastime. In Play Hungry, Rose tells us the story of how, through hard work and sheer will, he became one of the unlikeliest stars of the game. Told with candor and wry humor, Rose's memoir is his final word on the glories and controversies of his life, and ultimately, a master class in how to succeed when the odds are stacked against you."-- Back cover
