Jeez ... until Joe made a comment, I really hadn't even thought about a book review on STP. I'm sure it will stun many of you to find I don't take criticism well, so I'm not sure whether I was consciously blocking out the idea that I might have a review, Amazon comments, or at the very least, a NetShrine thread discussing it. Thinking about it, it's not the type of book that's going to engender much discussion outside the most specialized of forums. It's an amalgamation of the best pitching research in what I hope is a readable, understandable format.

It's still not really 'real' to me, I'll admit. I once asked Sammy Sosa if he had any advice for young ball players. "Always carry a Sharpie," he said. I don't think I need to start doing that yet.
