"Although seats in the bleachers once cost less than a soda in the stands today, baseball is still the least expensive and mosts popular sport around - still as American as apple pie and still as well-loved as the happy summer days it ushers in. So when a likable highschool kid from a small Louisiana town makes it big in the major leagues, everyon enjoys a dream come true. And when the kid has a magic name like Vida Blue, and a magic arm whose pitching dazzles even the experts, excitement gives way to cheers, instant fame, and the inevitable pressures that follow. Here is Vida Blue's own story - an inside look at the near rookie who became an overnight sensation and a legend in his time - a story that opens with a small boy on a neighbor's field deep in the South, and moves to the big green diamond of the Oakland A's. We see Vida grow up, and learn why he chose a career in baseball rather than pursuing his first love - football. We watch him in action, and see him game after game, soaking that precious left arm in ice water and signing an endless stream of autographs with the right. Here he is with that controversial character Charles O. Finley engaged in the widely publicized battles and negotiations over salary, arguing, and refusing an offer of $2,000 to change his name to "True" ("Why doesn't he change his name to True O'Finley?" Blue muttered afterward). We watch Vida miss his own appearance on Laugh In to catch the football game, and see him gulp down a gallon of milk after endorsing the product. The first Black whose picture ever appeared on the front page of the Mansfield, Louisiana, hometown weekly, Vida Blue still introduces himself as Joe Namath to anyone who doesn't know. In one short year he rose from just another ballplayer to a sports superstar, finding his face on the cover of Time and splashed with Aqua Velva daily on TV. Winner of the Cy Young Award and the American League's Most Valuable Player Award for his first full season in the pros, his spectacular success prompted Sandy Koufax to say, "I'd still rather have his future than anyone else's past ." More than just a baseball yarn or tale of rags-to-riches, Vida: His Own Story is a powerful portrait of the dehumanizing demands made on all sports idols, and how the overwhelming pressures affected one extraordinary boy - Vida Blue - whose future is unlimited, and whose unparalleled first professional season has secured him a permanent place in baseball history and the hearts of the fans." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…
