Hawk takes you down to the dugout, puts you on the field for pitching duels, the hitting strategy, and the final, career-ending injury. Yet behind this ferocious competitor, his teammates knew another Andre Dawson. Hawk tells the never-before-told stories from Andre's past, like the struggles with racism, the famous "blank check" he signed to go to Chicago, how he helped fellow All Star Tim Raines get off drugs, and many more close-ups. On the diamond and off, his is a love reflected in action. A love for God first taught by his grandmother, and a love for the game.

Reflecting on his accomplishments, his colleagues, and the future of baseball, Andre Dawson tells the story of his four-decade career as a player and executive in this intimate memoir. Seriously injured at a young age, Dawson struggled with chronic pain throughout his career and was only seriously scouted by the Montreal Expos during college. Overcoming these odds, he went on to be named the National League Rookie of the Year in 1977, earn eight All-Star appearances, eight Gold Gloves, and a Most Valuable Player Award. This behind-the-scenes look at a dedicated player's journey from a segregated Miami neighborhood to the fabled halls of Cooperstown offers fans a window into the psyche of a fan favorite.
