Beschreibung:

"Daniel Ponce de Leon's journey to a Major League Baseball roster has been roundabout. He attended four different colleges and was drafted four times, and only on the final time did he land a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals. After four more years of climbing his way up through the minors, he finally reached AAA, one step from the big leagues. Then, while pitching in a game, Daniel was struck in the head by a line drive. He suffered a large epidural hematoma and skull fracture that resulted in brain swelling and hemorrhaging, and spent almost three weeks in the intensive care unit. Just fourteen months later, fully recovered, he made his first Major League start, becoming just the fifth pitcher in modern Major League history to throw seven innings of no-hit ball in his debut. MLB.com referred to Daniel's performance as one of the greatest debuts in Major League Baseball history. In [this book], Daniel tells the full story of his journey, sharing how he never would have made it without his faith in God and the support of family and friends. Readers will be encouraged not to lose faith but to keep pressing on regardless of any setback or disappointment"
