MAITLAND, FL— J. Terry Johnson’s new book, WOUNDED EAGLE: The Game Beyond the Foul Poles ($13.99, paperback, 9781626979987; $6.99, e-book, 9781626979994) chronicles the account of an imaginary Major League Baseball team in San Antonio, Texas. Join the many fans that applaud the success of their beloved San Antonio Eagles on the baseball diamond and feel the pain of these gifted athletes as they struggle with life beyond the foul poles. Johnson brings readers into a whole new ‘arena,’ behind closed doors, into the private lives of M.L.B. players.
“Professional athletes may enjoy fame and fortune beyond anything imagined by the general public, but their personal lives are often more fragile than they might appear when they are engaged in the arena,” states the author. Nolan Ryan, a member of Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame and author of WOUNDED EAGLE’s foreword adds, “Unless you have spent years playing the game at the professional level, you cannot imagine the challenges these athletes face in bringing their lives into balance.”
J. Terry Johnson has written two other books that have a baseball theme: "Cardinal Fever" and "Kirby: From the Baseball Field to the Battlefield." He was president of Oklahoma Christian University in Oklahoma City for twenty-one years and has been inducted into the Oklahoma Higher Education Hall of Fame (2000).
