""You never know what's going to save you"" -- for John Albert and his friends, after years of hard punk rock living, the savior was baseball. This group of former musicians, failed screenwriters, and wanna-be actors gave up their jockstraps fairly early in life in favor of music, drugs, whores, and all-around lawlessness.

""You never know what's going to save you"" -- for John Albert and his friends, after years of hard punk rock living, the savior was baseball. This group of former musicians, failed screenwriters, and wanna-be actors gave up their jockstraps fairly early in life in favor of music, drugs, whores, and all-around lawlessness. That was great for awhile, but many of these individuals found themselves stumbling into their 30s -- broken down, smack-addled, and financially destroyed. Taking some aimless stab at bringing order back into their lives, they started an amateur baseball team and joined a hardball league full of gang members, off-duty cops, and former jocks turned investment bankers. In this memoir of recovery (and relapse), John Albert chronicles his team, the Griffith Park Pirates, from the woeful early days to their emergence as one of the leagues most competitive forces.

Autorenporträt
John Albert (1964-2023) grew up in Southern California and broke into the L.A. punk rock (and drug) scene as a teenager in the late 70s. He co-founded the influential Goth-punk, cross-dressing band Christian Death, and was-for a time-the drummer of Bad Religion. After years of drumming, drugs, and eventually rehab, Albert found success as a writer. Contributing keen observations of the Los Angeles underbelly to LA Weekly, he received the Best of the West Journalism's Best Sports Writing Award in 2000 and later published the memoir Wrecking Crew.
