Few writers know more about pitching, and few pitchers know more about writing than Pat Jordan. Suitors of Spring is a collection of eight of Jordan's essays about pitchers and pitching, originally published in Sports Illustrated. From the cultivated genius of Tom Seaver, to the irresistible wisdom of Johnny Sain, to the tragic mystery of Steve Dalkowski, the fastest pitcher ever, Jordan's portraits show us, simply and hauntingly, that wins and losses have more to do with a pitcher's heart and mind than his velocity and location.

Autorenporträt
Pat Jordan has made his living as a writer since 1963. He presently lives in a small town in upstate South Carolina with his wife of 42 years, Susan, a writer and former stage actress. They live with two dogs, a house cat, a ménage of feral cats, and a parrot named Florence, after his mother, also a tough old bird. His father, born Pasquale Michele Giordano, was the most profound influence on his life.
