An inspiring memoir from a Red Sox hero and MVP of the 2007 World Series.

In 2007, Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell triumphed over a lifetime of adversity when he led the world s most zealously followed baseball team to the promised land, with their second World Series title in four years. But there was much more to the story than what happened on that October night.

From his family s battle to escape Cuba and the Castro regime, to the ups and downs of his baseball career, to his battle with testicular cancer, this is the story of a man who overcame every challenge thrown at him to become one of the best third basemen in baseball and a true role model for his millions of fans.

“Mike Lowell is such an honest man, a man who plays the game hard, and plays the game right, the whole time.”—Manny Ramirez
