Tom Glavine and Mike Mussina have seen it all in the Major Leagues and both entered 2007 in search of individual milestones and one more shot at The World Series-Glavine with the Mets, Mussina five miles away with the Yankees. The two veterans experience very different seasons -- one on a team dealing with the pressure to get to a World Series for the first time in seven years, the other with a team expected to be there every year. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Taking the reader through contract negotiations, spring training, the ups of wins and losses, and the people in their lives-family, managers, pitching coaches, agents, catchers, other pitchers -- John Feinstein provides a true insider's look at the pressure cooker of sports at the highest level.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Feinstein\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many widely acclaimed and bestselling books on sports, including \u003ci\u003eOne on One\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMoment of Glory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAre You Kidding Me?\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLiving on the Black\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTales from Q School\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLast Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNext Man Up\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLet Me Tell You a Story\u003c\/i\u003e (with Red Auerbach), \u003ci\u003eCaddy for Life\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOpen\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Punch\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Last Amateurs\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Majors\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Good Walk Spoiled\u003ci\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Civil War\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Season on the Brink\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePlay Ball\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHard Courts\u003c\/i\u003e.
