Reading Response on "Out of My League".

      The book, "Out of My League", by Dirk Hayrust is about a rookie pitcher surviving in the big leagues.

       The whole book is not about baseball though,it is also about a family that is poor and not well. He meets a girl that in the future becomes his wife, but he does not know it yet. He has to equal the girl and baseball at the same time. He gets frustrated as the story goes on and becomes crazy with all the frustration between his future wife, and his future career in baseball. At this point  i thought he would choose the girl, because as i knew already, she would become his future wife. But he kept playing, and playing until he got to the big leagues.

        As the story went on, and as he was in the Minor Leagues, other players and umpires picked on him a little. An example of this is when one of the umpires told him where he needed to go after he hit the ball, and telling him how it is like to live in apartments when he is in the Minor's. Even when his mother called him because she saw him on tv giving up a home run to another player.

       I picked this book because i am a baseball fan, and i enjoy playing baseball, and reading it.  But this book has a lot more story to it than just baseball, it has relationships and other things in reading.  This text relates to me because i really enjoy baseball but i don't really have to make big decisions like the character has to do here. What i think the reader should feel is more than just sorry, because this happens to a lot of minor league baseball players. This is because a lot of minor leaguer's are poor and they don't have a lot of money. Lot's of minor leaguers also live in not so great places because they don't have much money.
