"My Time At Bat" is one man's tale of success in a career where the odds were clearly not in his favor—in Major League Baseball. Chuck Hinton takes us down the road to the big league, over every bump and hurdle along the way. He took a chance and hitchhiked 300 miles for a baseball tryout and made it. Chuck Hinton reveals his secrets about how he stayed there for eleven years.

But this book offers much more. Chuck Hinton persevered just as much off the field. He offers many principles to live by that will benefit everyone, in any walk of life. After all, it was important to him to be more than a Major League player. He strove to be a Major Person in everything he did.

Chuck Hinton was born in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and built an eleven-year career as a Major League Baseball player. He was the last Senator to hit over .300. He was responsible for the formation of The Major League Baseball Players' Alumni Association in 1982. He has rubbed elbows with such baseball greats as Willie Mays and Hank Aaron.

In the early '60s, he led the Senators in batting three out of the four seasons he played for the team. He also led that team in stolen bases and triples all four years. To top it off, he had the privilege of being voted into the 1964 All-Star Game by the players. Having also played for the Indians and the Angels, Chuck Hinton contributed countless other memorable moments, including inside- and outside-the-park home runs and a grand slam.

His Minor League career highlights include 1959 Rookie of the Year, back-to-back league batting championships and league Most Valuable Player.

After hanging up his hat in the Major Leagues, he coached baseball at Howard University. He and his wife of 46 years have four children.
