Details

An evening with Rick Ankiel, NY Times best selling author of "The Phenomenon: Pressure, The Yips, And The Pitch That Changed My Life."

Copies of the book "The Phenomenon" will be available for purchase the evening of the event. Only books purchased that evening will be signed. No additional autographs available that evening.

The "Phenomenon" is the story of how St. Louis Cardinals Rick Ankiel lost his ability to pitch due to the anxiety condition known as "the yips." He fought the "yips" with psychotherapy, medication, deep-breathing exercises, self-help books and eventually, vodka. Ankiel made an amazing turnaround and returned to the Major leagues as a hitter and played seven successful seasons.

The event is open to the community.
