One year ago, I sat down with Jim Morris to talk about his incredible journey from high school science teacher to 35-year-old rookie MLB pitcher.
This month, I had the opportunity to reconnect with Jim and talk about everything that’s happened since the events of Disney’s hit movie The Rookie. And the short answer is – a lot.
In our conversation, Jim provides a sneak peek at the details revealed in his new book, Dream Makers – including why he left baseball, his personal struggles with addiction and chronic illness, and how he persevered through all of it.
As Dennis Quaid said, this story is better than the first.
