Aubrey Huff has been candid about his struggle with depression in the past, but now he's sharing even more of his story.

Huff's new book, "Baseball Junkie - The Rise, Fall and Redemption of a World Series Champion," explores the former Giants' long-time battle with anxiety and the pressure of playing in the Major Leagues.

According to Huff's site, the book "is the story of a man who seemingly has everything—a place in Major League Baseball history, success, fame, money, a beautiful family—and yet, finds himself staring straight at a loaded .375 Magnum, contemplating suicide."

Although Huff tells the site Fansided that writing a book partly worked as a form of catharsis for him, he's also hoping that opening up about his own mental health will help remove some of the stigma around depression.

"I hate talking about the actual anxiety part of it. Until recently, I couldn't even talk about it at meetings or on camera," Huff told Fansided. "But I know that I have to. To help others out there. I know how bad it got for me. And if I can stop just one guy from blowing his brains out, then I have done my job."

Huff reveals his addiction to Adderall made him feel "invincible," and that once he stopped taking it, his depression and anxiety became overwhelming.

"For an outsider, I am sure it looks easy," Huff told Fansided. "I mean, if someone is getting paid millions to play a game he loves, how can that even be work right? And what right does he have to complain?"

"But at the level of the game the Giants and other pros play at, the pressure is insane. The guys really all want to play well, and give it their all. They don't want to disappoint the fans. They don't want to disappoint their families. But it's hard for any guy to keep it all together."

But it's not all seriousness for the man who once inspired San Francisco fans by inventing the rally thong. Huff has one chapter dedicated to former teammate Pat Burrell called "Pat's Johnson." So yeah, we'll leave that to you to find out about.

The book is due to hit shelves in February, but Huff and co-author Stephen Cassar are hoping to print an earlier edition for the holiday season. They've set up a Kickstarter to fund the effort, and Giants fans will be very interested in the incentives for donating.

Smaller donations will come with a copy of "Baseball Junkie," but a pledge of $200 or more will get you an autographed rally thong. Pledge $2,500 or more and you'll get to party at Aubrey's house at his book launch party.

Got $10,000 lying around? You'll receive all of the previous rewards, plus attend a baseball game with Huff in either San Francisco or San Diego (where Huff resides).
