That's because he's been pitching in the bigs for all those years. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith his trademark three pitches - slow, slower, and slowest - the left-handed Moyer is a pinpoint specialist whose won-lost record actually got better as he got older -- from his 20s to his 30s and into 40s. He's only a few wins shy of 300 for his amazing career. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut this is where the book takes an unusual turn. Moyer was just about finished as a big leaguer in his mid-20s until he fatefully encountered a gravel-voiced, highly confrontational sports psychologist named Harvey Dorfman. Listening to the \"in-your-face\" insights of Dorfman, Moyer began to re-invent himself and reconstruct his approach to his game. Moyer went on to become an All-Star and also a World Series champion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYogi Berra once observed that \"Half of this game is 90% mental.\" And Moyer's memoir proves it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJamie Moyer\u003c\/b\u003e is now fifty-one years old, and by all accounts he has now finished his big league career, although he occasionally is still asked if he might return to the mound.
