Bill Denehy was at the top of his game...until he threw a pitch that changed the course of his life. A bio about a gifted pitcher whose career held promise until a pitch to Willie Mays injured his shoulder, Rage chronicles Denehy's injury-plagued career in baseball and the loss of his vision due to injections used to keep him in the game.

A home-run biography about a gifted pitcher whose National League career held promise until a hard slider to Willie Mays injured his shoulder. Cortisone injections could only keep him in the game for a while. Denehy holds nothing back as he shares the rage he felt his whole life, his lost dreams and eventually finding peace when he entered recovery.

William Francis “Bill” Denehy is a former major league baseball player for the New York Mets. Once considered a top prospect, sharing his rookie card with Tom Seaver, “Baseball Bill” badly injured his arm the first month of his career. Bill unsuccessfully tried to stay in baseball with the aid of multiple cortisone shots. He later coached the University of Hartford, was a minor league pitching coach for the Boston Red Sox, and a radio announcer. He is now in long-term recovery and belongs to the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association. He lives in Orlando, Florida. Peter Golenbock is one of the nation’s best-known sports authors. He has written eight New York Times bestsellers, including The Bronx Zoo (with Sparky Lyle), Number 1 (with Billy Martin), Balls (with Greg Nettles), Personal Fouls, American Prince (with Tony Curtis), and Presumed Guilty (with Jose Baez). He lives with his wife and son in Saint Petersburg, Florida.
