"My kind of guy . . . [Darling] writes soulfully about coming into and leaving the game . . . When most former major leaguers write memoirs, you wonder why they bothered; with Ron Darling . . . You wonder why it took him so long." Allen Barra,Newsday "Incisive, in-depth . . . Fascinating . . . [Darling] seems to have an almost photographic memory of every game he pitched . . . His pitch-by-pitch descriptions . . . illustrate the complexity of baseball . . . The antithesis of the sordid baseball tell-all." Rege Behe,Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "An unconventional baseball book . . . [And] a very good one, too . . . [Darling] can explain all the cerebral stuff while also answering some questions fans always wonder about . . . It's a snapshot inside a pitcher's head, and for a baseball fan, it's worth framing." David Hinckley,New York Daily News "Baseball generates dozens of books every year . . . This is easily the best of the year so far . . . It's hard to recall a baseball book that offers as much information about the gamefrom a player's perspectiveas this one." Booklist "Darling serves up his keen recollections in a finely shaped memoir with the gameand the task of pitchingat its core." Library Journal "Mets fans already know Ron Darling as one of the game's most insightful commentators, but this is a book for all of Baseball Nation to cherish. Just as artfully as he once changed speeds, Darling moves adeptly between his own experience on the mound and his probing analysis of the art and psychology of pitching to offer us a rare glimpse inside the world of the loneliest man on the field. The result is the pitching equivalent of Ted Williams'The Science of Hitting." Jonathan Mahler, author ofLadies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning "Darling's little gem of a book immediately takes its place alongsideBall FourandMoneyballas a classic, and the best account ever of the way pitchers think." Joseph J. Ellis, author ofAmerican Creation "Totally absorbing. Ron Darling takes us inside the mind of a pitcher, and a funny, thoughtful, and observant one at that." Kevin Baker, author ofSometimes You See it ComingandParadise Alley, "[Darling] has written a thoughtful and lively new book about the art, craft and business of his trade. It's a nuts-and-bolts kind of baseball booka pitcher's answer to Ted Williams's classic, The Science of Hitting . . . [Darling is] an affable, frank and witty guide . . . [He] has a sense of humor about the game's ups and downs . . . He also sees its elegiac potential." Bruce Handy, The New York Times Book Review "My kind of guy . . .

Synopsis
Ron Darling has been beloved by Mets fans since he helped his team win the 1986 World Series. Today he is considered one of the most articulate and insightful broadcasters in baseball, bringing the game to life in ways that few can match. Now he gives us an engaging, sophisticated, practical, and philosophical exploration of the art, strategy, and psychology of pitching. Darling takes us inside the pitcher's mind, illuminating the subtler aspects of the game and providing a deeper appreciation of what happens on the field. He explains why the position of pitcher is uniquely strategic and complex and explores the various tactics a pitcher uses in different scenarios, including the countless factors in deciding what to throw and how he bounces back from a tough inning. Throughout, we get a glimpse of what it feels like to stand alone on the mound, the center of attention for tens of thousands of fans. While there are technical books on pitching, there is no other book that examines the position in such compelling depth as The Complete Game. Filled with captivating, real-life anecdotes, it will do for pitching what Ted Williams's The Science of Hitting did for batting-and it will be an essential book for every fan and aspiring player., Darling--member of the 1986 World Series-winning Mets team and one of today's most articulate and insightful broadcasters--provides a deeper appreciation of what happens on the baseball diamond.
