"Declared a free agent" - that is the cruel moment that befalls geniuses who enter the glamorous world of professional baseball.
The author, Yuki Takamori, experienced this declaration and left the professional baseball world despite his active career with the Yokohama BayStars. This book is an interview with 25 former professional baseball players who, like Mr. Takamori, received the declaration and began their second lives. Among the interviewed former players are those who are achieving results beyond their playing days as coaches, and others who have completely given up on baseball and become certified public accountants or high school teachers. Because they have experience playing professional baseball, they can demonstrate their abilities on different stages.
"Declared a free agent" is a harsh reality that exists in any world. However, because of this, the confessions of the former players told in this book will surely touch the hearts of many readers.
