Descriere completă

On the night of his major league debut in Montreal''s Olympic Stadium in 1993, Curtis Pride got his first hit to a standing ovation from the crowd of more than 45,000 fans. Profoundly deaf since birth, Pride couldn''t hear their thunderous applause. But as the cheers grew louder and more insistent, he realized he was feeling those vibrations within his chest - an undeniable acknowledgement of an extraordinary achievement. Pride went on to play in 420 more major league games over eleven different seasons with the Montreal Expos, Detroit Tigers, Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels, and New York Yankees. He was then hired as baseball coach at Gallaudet the world''s leading university for deaf students, and has received countless national and local awards for his achievements and his service in inspiring and educating others. With candour, warmth, and humour, Pride writes from the heart in I Felt the Cheers. From the first time he played T ball at age six and got a couple of hits, he dreamed of playing in the major leagues. No matter how unlikely it seemed, or how much skepticism he faced from teammates or coaches, Pride stayed resolute. Far from being a disadvantage, he came to see that his deafness could sometimes be a secret weapon, forcing him to use senses that other players take for granted. Curtis''s personal journey is unique, but his message is a powerful, universal one, sure to resonate deeply with everyone who has faced difficult challenges. I Felt the Cheers is living proof that dreams can come true, no matter how impossible they seem.
