The cover of former Colorado Rockies manager Clint Hurdle’s new book “Hurdle-isms: Wit and Wisdom from a Lifetime in Baseball”.
Hurdle finds motivation through inspirational sayings, sharing those with 7,000 friends on a daily email. This book became an outgrowth of his 2023 life goal to “Grow” in his personal life and remove himself from his comfort zone, something he asked players to do for decades. “The sayings just came from the way I saw life,” said Hurdle, long a voracious reader and music connoisseur.
Hurdle begins his book writing about restoring joy in sports and life. The first Hurdle-ism: Don’t keep score. In the minor leagues, a Hurdle-ism sprouted organically when he and pitcher Dan Quisenberry were struggling in Class-A ball. Quisenberry and Hurdle wondered if they would ever have a game when they both did well, “Quiz believed we would. And he said that’s why I look forward to the postgame shower. I get to wash away all the crap that happened.”Sports Columnists |
