You dont need to be the strongest. You just need to keep going. David Eckstein was never supposed to make it. Too small, too unlikely, too easy to overlook. From a fragile newborn fighting for his life to a young ballplayer told hed never be good enough, the odds were stacked against him long before he reached a major league field. But what he lacked in size, he made up for in heart. Through intimate stories of his Florida upbringing, the challenges that forged his familys bond, and the failures that taught him to fight back, David reveals the truth he learned long before he became a champion: a person isnt measured in inchestheyre measured in feats. More than a baseball memoir, this is a story about the people who carried him, the coaches who pushed him, the moments that nearly broke him, and the love that grounded him. Honest and deeply human, JUST ENOUGH reminds us that if youve ever been doubted, dismissed, or underestimated, you can still win. Contains a heartfelt introduction by actor Sean Astin, who calls Ecksteins mastery of the game just a thing of beauty.
