"Paul O'Neill's passion to get a hit was obvious every time he stepped in the batter's box. He was a fierce competitor who never thought he should make an out. And, in SWING AND A HIT, Paul intimately describes the journey that led to him being such a special hitter. This book is as entertaining and illuminating as one of O'Neill's feisty at bats. Add another hit to O'Neill's stats." -- Buck Showalter, Manager of The New York Mets, former manager of the N.Y. Yankees and three-time Manager of The Year., "I've always known how superb and how prepared Paul O'Neill was as a hitter. After reading SWING AND A HIT now I know all of O'Neill's secrets and sacrifices and everything that helped make him such a splendid hitter. With every page I read, it was evident how Paul obsessed over the art of hitting and how he learned from some of the game's best hitters. I loved competing with and against Paul. I loved this book just as much."-- David Cone, Five-Time World Series Champion, Cy Young Award Winner and baseball announcer for The Yes Network and ESPN, "Paul O'Neill is so much more than "the warrior." He is a baseball savant and an incredible student of the game. He and Jack Curry peel away the layers of the five-time world champion in this riveting read. I've known Paul for 30 years and I came away knowing much more about hitting and about him than before I picked up this fascinating read." -- Michael Kay, Yankees' Play-By-Play announcer for the Yes Network.

Synopsis
This fun and fiery New York Times bestselling memoir tells the life story of All Star Yankee and five-time World Champion, Paul O'Neill, like you've never seen him before. In Swing and Hit , O'Neill elaborates on his most important hitting principles, lessons, and memories--exploring those elements across ten chapters (to align with the nine innings of a baseball game and one extra inning). Here, O'Neill, with his intense temperament, describes what he did as a hitter, how he adjusted to pitchers, how he boosted his confidence, how he battled with umpires (and water coolers), and what advice he would give to current hitters. O'Neill has always been a tough out at the plate. Recalling how he started to swing at bat as a two-year-old and kept swinging it professionally until he was thirty-eight, O'Neill provides constant insights into the beauty and frustration of playing baseball. The legendary Ted Williams said using a round bat to hit a round ball is the most difficult thing to do in sports. Naturally, O'Neill, who once received a surprise call from Williams that was filled with hitting advice, agrees. Swing and Hit features O'Neill's most thoughtful revelations and offers clubhouse stories from some of the biggest names in Major League Baseball--hitters, managers, and teammates like Joe Torre, Derek Jeter, Don Mattingly, Pete Rose, and Bernie Williams. Remember, O'Neill, ever the perfectionist, was the type of hitter who believed that pitchers didn't ever get him out. For that incredible reason and so many others, Swing and Hit is essential reading for any baseball fan.
