Like everything about his life, even his name was elusive."So begins My Father's Con, a Memoir, by Pat Jordan, the octogenarian former pro baseball prospect-considered for a time to be one of the hardest throwing pitchers in the minor leagues-who later became an award-winning sportswriter.

    Few writers know more about pitching, and few pitchers know more about writing than Pat Jordan. Suitors of Spring is a collection of eight of Jordan's essays about pitchers and pitching, originally published in Sports Illustrated.
