''FEAR STRIKES OUT'' - The Jim Piersall Story


Jimmy Piersall


---Jim Piersall was a major league baseball player for most of his adult life. He mostly played for the Boston Red Sox. His life is chronicled in his autobiography and movie of the same name. It was called, ‘’Fear Strikes Out.’’ The movie starred Anthony Perkins and Karl Malden. Perkins played Jimmy and Malden played his overbearing dad. His dad spent a lot of time ingraining into him how important it be that he, Jimmy, become a Major League Baseball Player. Jimmy did but with many foibles because of it. Jimmy had manic depression, also. See how Jimmy suffered in a quest to win his father’s approval. See how Jimmy never felt like he was GOOD ENOUGH.
