Rage – Legend of Baseball Bill Denehy
Authors: Bill Denehy and Peter Golenbock
Overview
In this powerful memoir, former Major League pitcher Bill Denehy opens up about his life both on and off the baseball field. Once a gifted athlete with a promising career in the National League, Denehy’s future was abruptly altered after a fateful pitch to Willie Mays led to a devastating shoulder injury. Despite cortisone injections keeping him in the game for a time, his career never reached its full potential.
But this story isn’t just about baseball. With raw honesty, Denehy reveals the anger and rage that haunted him after his career was cut short, the destructive spiral of addiction that followed, and the long road toward peace and recovery. Co-written with acclaimed sportswriter Peter Golenbock, Rage is more than a baseball biography—it’s a human story about lost dreams, resilience, and ultimately redemption.
