Award-winning author and editorial director of Times Live Gerald Marzorati discusses Late to the Ball: Age. Learn. Fight. Love. Play Tennis. Win. Gerry Mazorati started playing the game of tennis seriously in his mid-fifties. He had the strong desire to lead an examined physical life, to push his body into the encore of middle age. In Late to the Ball Mazorati writes vividly about the difficulties, frustrations, and the triumphs of his becoming a seriously good tennis player. He takes on his quest with complete vigor and absolute determination to see it through, providing a rich, vicarious experience involving the science of aging, his existential battle with time, and the beautiful, mysterious game of tennis. Late to the Ball is also captivating evidence that the rest of the Baby Boomer generation, now between middle age and old age, can find their own quest and do the same.
