Book Reviews of The 33-Year-Old Rookie: My 13-Year Journey from the Minor Leagues to the World Series
Book Review: Good on you mate!
Summary: 5 Stars
Chris Coste played baseball as a perennial underdog. Yet his desire to be the best he could be took him all the way to the Major Leagues, and a World Series victory. It is the Australian way to always cheer for the underdog, and I clapped for Chris the whole way through the book. We can all apply the principle of his outstanding dedication to our own lives, and who knows a promotion in the workplace or building that extension to the house are all possible if you think like Chris Coste does...never give up!

Summary of The 33-Year-Old Rookie: My 13-Year Journey from the Minor Leagues to the World Series
Chris Coste dreamed of playing major-league baseball from the age of seven. But after eleven grueling years in the minors, a spot on a major-league roster still seemed just out of his reach?until that fateful call came from the Philadelphia Phillies in May 2006. At age thirty-three (?going on eighty?), Coste was finally heading to the big time. The 33-Year-Old Rookie is a real-life Rocky, an unforgettable and inspirational story of one man?s unwavering pursuit of a lifelong goal. Beginning in a single-parent home in Fargo, North Dakota, and ending behind home plate on the flawless diamond of the Phillies? Citizens Bank Park?where fans and teammates call him ?Chris Clutch? because of his knack for getting timely hits?this intimate account of Coste?s baseball odyssey is a powerful story of determination, perseverance, and passion.Memoirs Books
