I'd like to say a hearty and heartfelt thank you to everyone, not only for reading my work and participating in discussions with me, but for helping my book do as well as it has. I'm proud to announce that I've sold enough copies to make some money over and above the advance. The Porsche Boxster will have to wait, but getting the knowledge in the book out there is the most important part. Without everyone helping to get the word out, it would be hidden knowledge, just as it was before I wrote STP.
But it's not over. I'm told that Rob Dibble may have referenced "STP" on BBTN in much the way that many speak of "Moneyball." If so, we're winning. We're seeing the work done by Craig Wright, Keith Woolner, and Rany Jazayerli start to crack the mainstream. I was even able to write on MLB.com!
I was worried when my publisher, Ivan Dee, suggested calling my book "A Revolutionary Approach," but as with most things, he was right. It's the start of a revolution, or perhaps an evolution. Either way, the pitchers born today will have a safer game when they're old enough to play. Keep up the fight and again, thank you.
I must give special thanks to those who have helped in special ways: Everyone at Ivan R. Dee, Tim Marchman, TFD, and everyone at BP.
