{"product_id":"the-conman-mike-murphey-9781947392656","title":"The Conman","description":"\u003cp\u003eConor Nash has lived his life with a single purpose--to pitch in the Major Leagues. He's been released from professional baseball contracts ten times over a sixteen-year career, but he's overcome every obstacle to finally reach The Show when he's a decade too old. As he faces the specter of injury-forced retirement, he becomes a man neither he nor his wife recognizes. During his career, Conor avoided the trap of alcohol and drugs because his drug was baseball. And what can an addict do when he realizes he will never get that high again? Conor climbs treacherous Camelback Mountain, drinks a bottle of Champagne, recalls people and events, and seeks an answer. Who is Conor Nash if he can't pitch? The Conman is based on the Life of Keith Comstock. Keith pitched professionally for sixteen years, including Major League time with The Seattle Mariners, the San Diego Padres, the San Francisco Giants and the Minnesota Twins. Following his retirement in 1992, Keith has held minor league coaching and managing positions with several organizations. For the past decade he has served as the rehabilitation instructor for the Texas Rangers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mike Murphey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1947392654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781947392656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Acorn Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Mike Murphey","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43978348003583,"sku":"9781947392656","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d740740c-11e6-43f9-8910-e9f9da3e2f3c.jpg?v=1683241036","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-conman-mike-murphey-9781947392656","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
