At 49, Jamie Moyer's Pitching Career Goes Into Extra Innings

Fresh Air

Published August 15, 2014 at 1:11 PM CDT

In a new memoir called Just Tell Me I Can't Moyer explains how he became a better pitcher in his 40s than his 20s. Moyer's story isn't just the tale of a talented guy who hung on a little longer than others; with the help of a sports psychologist, he managed to gain control of the mental side of his game. Originally broadcast Oct. 2, 2013.
