內容簡介 兩屆賽揚獎得主、達成完全比賽與無安打比賽的MLB名人堂傳奇──羅伊‧哈勒戴他華麗又急速消逝的人生，如同他招牌的伸卡球，快速下墜，消逝於眾人眼底……羅伊‧哈勒戴的棒球故事是獨一無二的。他從小就是超級巨星的命。一路從一九九五年在選秀會上在首輪獲選，再到一九九八年差點在生涯第二次先發就投出無安打，兩年後又跌到谷底，創下棒球史上最慘的單季成績，差點離開棒球界。從來沒有一位名人堂投手曾經歷過這麼艱難的低潮。但哈勒戴勇於改變，從投球機制和心理建設，他將其全數重新改造，讓自己晉升為史上最強投手之一。他在二○○三年和二○一○年兩度拿下了投手最高榮譽的賽揚獎，甚至在二○一○年分別達成完全比賽與無安打比賽的王牌成績，在二○一三年因傷退休之際，更是所有記者、媒體、球員、球迷心中認定的準名人堂選手。然而在二○一七年，他的人生驟然下墜，一場駕機失事意外讓許多人感到痛心，隨之而來的調查也帶出了許多令人費解的疑問：他究竟是經歷了什麼樣的歷練與痛苦後才站上巔峰？以及，他究竟是個什麼樣的人？作者與哈勒戴的家人、朋友、教練、隊友和對手們進行超過一百次訪談，還有與哈勒戴的妻子布蘭蒂有深度的對話，深度考究資料，蒐羅許多未公開的哈勒戴自我剖析。這本書紀錄了哈勒戴在二○一七年過世前，他在多倫多與費城的精彩棒球生涯，還有他青春期、人生低潮還有回饋棒球的動機與成就偉大人生哲學。這本自傳記錄了哈勒戴追求卓越的過程，不只是啟發許多學生球員與大聯盟球員效法，同時也向這位偉大的投手、隊友和父親致敬。本中文書介出自《不完美的墜落: 羅伊．哈勒戴》堡壘文化出版A celebration and a profound remembrance of a beloved player, friend, and family manNobody’s baseball story is like Roy Halladay’s.He was born and raised to be a superstar. He was a first-round draft pick in 1995. He nearly threw a no-hitter in his second big-league start in 1998. But two years later, Halladay suffered arguably the worst season by any pitcher in baseball history. He was months away from being out of the game.Hall of Fame pitchers do not struggle like that. But Halladay vowed to change. He altered his pitching mechanics and rewired his brain to become one of the greatest pitchers of all time. How did Doc do it? Doc: The Life of Roy Halladay tells the remarkable story; based on more than 100 interviews with Halladay’s family, friends, managers, coaches, teammates, and competitors, including extensive interviews with his wife, Brandy; comprehensive archival research; and previously unpublished commentary from Halladay himself. Doc not only tells the story of Halladay’s illustrious baseball career in Toronto and Philadelphia, but his hard-driven adolescence, his lifelong personal struggles, and his motivation to pay forward the knowledge and philosophies that helped him achieve baseball greatness before his tragic death in 2017.This essential biography is a testimonial for baseball players and pitchers from high school to the big leagues still searching for their path to excellence, like Halladay. It’s also a celebration and a profound exploration of a generational pitcher and a beloved teammate, friend, and family man."
