He was the Dodger team captain, an All-Star, and one of the most popular figures in the game. But no one, even Wills, realized the personal price he was paying for this public acclaim. In this memoir, Wills candidly admits how he sacrificed his family and those who loved him for success on the field and how, finally, he was forced to pay for his lonely pursuit with a life bereft of all feeling except an uncontrollable need to consume suicidal amounts of cocaine and alcohol"Description: 334 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm.".
