UNCORRECTED PROOF The Oldest Rookie Jim Morris Basis for Disney Movie The Rookie

Description: RARE UNCORRECTED ADVANCE PROOF of The Oldest Rookie: Big-League Dreams from a Small-Town Guy by Jim Morris. Basis for the 2002 film from Walt Disney Pictures, The Rookie, starring Dennis Quaid. Uncorrected advance proofs are made in very small numbers for the use of editors and people who preview the book for either catching and correcting errors, or to read and review it before it is actually printed. This book was made into a hit 2002 film for Walt Disney Pictures, making this proof even more special. This is the ultimate gift for the baseball fan, dreamer, Disney collector, or the person who never gives up. If you have seen the film, you know the inspiring story of Jim Morris. The book tells the whole story. Twice he tried to ascend the Major League ladder, both times never making it out of single-A minor league baseball. So, he gave up on a baseball career and became a high school teacher and baseball coach for a decade. To motivate his team in the spring of 1999, he offered to try out again for the big leagues if they won their championship. They did, and he kept his word. And, after a few months, his dream came true. In his first MLB appearance for the Texas Rangers, 35 year young Morris struck out the first batter he faced on four pitches. INCREDIBLE! Condition: this proof is in terrific shape. Only issues are some very minor edge wear to the very bottom left of the back cover and last three pages, and a small indentation at the top center of the front cover. Would make a great gift. Will be carefully packaged and shipped in a brand new box.
