The Book Is Coming
Danny Collins has lived a story most people wouldn’t survive — and survived it in a way most people wouldn’t believe. From pitching a no-hitter at Indian River State College to signing with the Atlanta Braves, from the depths of addiction and two prison sentences to becoming one of Florida’s most compelling voices for criminal justice reform, Danny’s life has taken turns that would break most men. He didn’t just survive them. He used them.
Now, for the first time, Danny is telling the whole story — in his own words, without filters, without excuses, and without leaving out the parts that are hardest to say out loud.
“I’ve never read anything quite like this. Collins doesn’t offer redemption as a tidy ending — he offers it as a brutal, ongoing practice. This book will make you uncomfortable. It will also make you think harder about what we owe each other.”

A Story About More Than Baseball
It starts on the mound. It ends in a courtroom — not as a defendant this time, but as an advocate. In between is a decade-and-a-half of addiction, incarceration, racial radicalization, and a friendship inside a Florida prison that quietly dismantled everything Danny thought he knew about himself and the world around him.
This isn’t a comeback story. It’s something rarer: an honest one.
