the 33-year-old rookie

Chris Coste's new book, The 33-Year-Old Rookie, How I Made It to the Big Leagues after 11 Years in the Minors, is due out March 18. Check the usual places for your copy. This is Coste's second book--and yes, he wrote both of them by himself. The first, Hey, I'm Just the Catcher, was self-published and chronicled his time in the Northern League. The new one, published by Random House, is about finally making it to the majors two years ago with the Phillies. All Phillies fans are hoping that Coste will be able to make it a trifecta, with a Hollywood ending.
