Reviews
Mark Bowdenauthor of Black Hawk DownMore than the sad saga of Darryl Strawberry, The Ticket Out examines and explodes an American myth: that athletic skill offers a magic shortcut to happiness and success. Mike Sokolove is a journalist who finds in sports a window to deeper, more important things. His affectionate but clear-eyed story reaffirms that character (not talent) is destiny, and that even the most amazingly gifted athlete remains a product of his community, his family, and most important, himself., Sally Jenkinscoauthor with Lance Armstrong of It's Not About the Bike and Every Second CountsThe Ticket Out is an emotional detective story about baseball, moving and thought-provoking. It is a first-rate book for anyone who seeks to understand the serious human narrative we mistakenly call a game.
