Featuring exclusive interviews with each of the players, their insight provides a unique look into the struggles of being a professional ballplayer. Reaching the major leagues is a pipe dream for most young baseball players in America. Very few ever get to live it out. While many that do make it to the big leagues stay there for a long time, there are just as many that are only there for a brief moment. A select few of those players face the elation and frustration of getting to play in just one major league game. The Cup of Coffee Club: 11 Players and Their Brush with Baseball History tells the stories of eleven of these players and their struggles to reach the major leagues, as well as their struggles to get back. They include a former Major League Baseball manager, the son of a Baseball Hall of Famer, and two different brothers of Hall of Famers. Exclusive interviews with each of the players provide insight into what that single seminal moment meant and how they dealt with the blow of never making another major league appearance again. Spanning half a century of baseball, each player's journey to Major League Baseball is distinct, as is each of their responses to having played in just a single game. The Cup of Coffee Club shares their unique perspectives, providing a better understanding of just how special each major league game can be."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Baseball players $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Minor league baseball $z United States. 610 20 $a Major League Baseball (Organization) 941 $a 6 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909060538.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20220630020439.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20210122010719.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724012437.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200505010450.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200312011304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FF5259BA642611EA8505CA0797128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
