Out of My League
By Dr. Bernie Kastner
Years ago when my father signed me up in Amity Little League at age eight, I was a standout. I started out as a pitcher – to my knowledge I was the only ambidextrous pitcher to be found in those days. I didn't flaunt it, though, except once four years later, I was forced to show off by my coaches. It was in June of 1969, and I was the starting left-fielder for the Amity Little League all-star team. I had insisted on not pitching because of chronic pain in my arm(s) after a game -- so the coaches, knowing a good arm (or two) when they saw one, suggested I play the outfield.
About the Book
Out of My League is a psychotherapist’s humorous retrospective account of events that took place on the fields of different ethnic softball leagues in south Brooklyn during one season in the year 1985.
