Author Patrick Montgomery joins Anna for an episode of Extra Innings. Fans of the show might recall our fascinating conversation last year about his book The Baseball Miracle of The Splendid Six. Patrick left us eagerly anticipating his next work, hinting at a project that delves into one of baseball's most perplexing mysteries: why do some players, despite high expectations, simply fizzle out?
Patrick's new book, Baseball’s Great Expectations, set to hit shelves on March 5th, tackles this very question. For anyone who's ever been puzzled by a player's unmet potential, Patrick's latest offering promises to be an incredible read. Drawing from interviews with players, their families, and coaches, Patrick explores the often intangible reasons behind a player's failure to excel. From the understandable—such as injuries and bad timing—to the more elusive factors that leave fans and analysts scratching their heads, Baseball’s Great Expectations seeks to uncover what happens when promise doesn't translate into performance.
In today’s episode, we dive into some of the intriguing insights from Patrick’s research and discuss the stories that didn't make it into the book. We also catch up on Patrick’s own baseball bucket list and discuss what’s next for him in his journey as a baseball fan.
