Matt McCarthy, a decent left-handed starting pitcher on one of the worst squads in Yale history, earned a ticket to spring training as the twenty-sixth-round draft pick of the 2002 Anaheim Angels. This is the hilarious inside story of his year with the Provo Angels, Anaheim's minor league affiliate in the heart of Mormon country, as McCarthy navigates the ups and downs of an antic, grueling season, filled with cross-country bus trips, bizarre rivalries, and wild locker-room hijinks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Matt McCarthy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0143116819\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780143116813\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.02h x 5.36w x 0.65d","brand":"Matt McCarthy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990091399423,"sku":"9780143116813","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b2ec8837-c4d3-4a73-a942-d84b989daffc.jpg?v=1683302949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/odd-man-out-matt-mccarthy-9780143116813","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
