Summary of Bob Tewksbury's Ninety Percent Mental

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Oakland Coliseum was not the best place for Jon Lester to breathe freely. The stadium was notorious for sewage backups, and Lester had never felt comfortable on the mound there.

#2 On June 10, 2013, Lester was to make his final start of the first half on Saturday night. He was certain of only one thing: he was not going to step into the break without exhausting his search for solutions.

#3 I found out that the Red Sox had included me in their pitch to Lester in the winter of 2014–2015, after I had left the Red Sox organization the first time to work for the MLB Players’ Association, because they had wanted him to know that they had reached an agreement to bring me back into the organization.

#4 The next night, Lester was able to pitch a lot better than the team had the previous night. He felt more in command of the game, and situations that arose during the game.
