About this item

The fun and fiery memoir of All Star Yankee and five-time World Champion, Paul O'Neill. In SWING AND A HIT, O'Neill elaborates on his most important hitting principles, lessons, and memories - exploring those elements across ten chapters (to align with the nine innings of a baseball game and one extra inning) . Here, O'Neill, with his intense temperament, describes what he did as a hitter, how he adjusted to pitchers, how he boosted his confidence, how he battled with umpires (and water coolers) , and what advice he would give to current hitters. O'Neill has always been a tough out at the plate. Recalling how he started to swing at bat as a two-year-old and kept swinging it professionally until he was thirty-eight, O'Neill provides constant insights into the beauty and frustration of playing baseball.
