For the first time ever, the top right-handed pitcher on the fabled New York Yankees teams of the early 1960s chronicles his life in both baseball and professional golf. The only man in major-league history to throw the final pitch in two World Series Game Sevens, Ralph Terry takes us inside the dugouts and onto the fields with a wealth of remembrances about his teammates and foes, including such unforgettable athletes as Roger Maris, Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams, Yogi Berra, Billy Martin, and Elston Howard, to name only a few. A must for any sports fan, RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE celebrates the life and times of a star pitcher -- and, later, successful pro golfer -- who exchanged the dusty diamonds of his tiny Oklahoma hometown for the manicured playing field of Yankee Stadium, becoming a baseball legend in the process.
