“After many minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years spent in the bullpen, I can verify that this is a true picture of baseball.”

—Tim McCarver

“There are great truths within, of the kind usually unspoken. And as he expresses them, Dirk Hayhurst describes himself as ‘a real person who moonlights as a baseball player.’ In much the same manner, while The Bullpen Gospels chronicles how all of us face the impact when we learn reality is both far meaner and far richer than our dreams—it also moonlights as one of the best baseball books ever written.”

—Keith Olbermann

“A bit of Jim Bouton, a bit of Jim Brosnan, a bit of Pat Jordan, a bit of Crash Davis, and a whole lot of Dirk Hayhurst. Often hilarious, sometimes poignant. This is a really enjoyable baseball read.”

—Bob Costas

“Fascinating…a perspective that fans rarely see.”

—Trevor Hoffman, pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers and baseball’s all-time leader in saves

“The Bullpen Gospels is a rollicking good bus ride of a book. Hayhurst illuminates a baseball life not only with wit and humor, but also with thought-provoking introspection.”
