On the electrifying night of April 25, 2015, inside Milwaukee's Miller Park, 29-year-old Mitch Harris achieved what many said was impossible: pitching in the Major Leagues. It took more than a powerful right arm. It also took remarkable tenacity for Harris to battle through daunting odds, heartbreak, doubt, and the persistent resistance of the United States Navy.

In My Private War, Harris delivers a raw and inspiring account of his extraordinary journey from Navy lieutenant to the St. Louis Cardinals' lineup, overcoming five years away from the game and the rapid aging of his arm to become the first Naval Academy graduate to play in the big leagues in 94 years.

But this is more than a baseball story. It is a story about understanding the difference between impossible and improbable, and a testament to perseverance and the power of chasing a dream, even when the world tells you it's too late.
