-Toni Cortese, Executive Leadership Coach
Mel Glenn looks at baseball as a reflection of life. In this latest book, he views the sport - and his own maturing - through the ages with poems that are sometimes playful, often serious, always honest. He looks at baseball's history and future through eyes that love the game and helps us connect with the sport and with our inner selves as well. And he encourages us to always look to the future, to the possibilities of life even during difficult times. As he says, "Hope is the batter stepping up to the plate."
-Ferida Wolff, Author
Baseball has the longest season in sports, but time flies while reading Mel Glenn's latest compilation capturing the national pastime as poetry in motion. His verses are usually lighthearted but often poignant, as with "I Am Not Myself," juxtaposing the play of young phenoms with the aches and pains of old age. Mel portrays baseball as a cherished perpetuation of childhood's joys, dismayed by how kids today are glued to smartphones, not box scores, playing video games with consoles rather than punchball with Spaldeens. His vivid recollections range from Coney Island's batting cages to past heroes. Don't "wait 'till next year" to read this exhilarating compendium of baseball nostalgia.
-Sam Friedman, Journalist, baseball connoisseur
