For seven years Bart was a long reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the beginning of his eighth year his pitching arm was injured in a car accident and the Dodgers released him. He didn't want to play elsewhere so at age 32 he became unemployed at about the same time his divorce was finalized.The following spring the team called him back, but this time it wanted his bat, his very hot bat. For the next two years he played every day, sometimes pitched to one or two batters and invested his earnings instead of blowing them.His social life was also progressing. After helping the Dodgers win the World Series, he appeared on a talk show where he met a famous actress, who after the show, went with him to a local deli.Then, for the second time, the Dodgers let their best home run hitter go, this time with two other teams making offers, setting Bart off on a new journey, one without that actress or indeed, much of a social life, but with the opportunity to play baseball just a little bit longer.Over the next few years he struggled to remain at the top of his game, and in the process he became one of the greatest baseball players in the modern era.
