Bridges Through Baseball: Baseball Stories That Connect Us All (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798890794994)

Courage. Persistence. Mentoring. Resilience.

This is not your average young person's book about baseball.

In Bridges Through Baseball, the author draws on his experiences as an athlete, coach, father, and sports medicine specialist to share stories about overcoming our differences, working through personal challenges, learning the value of teamwork, and striving to become the best we can be.

Baseball is a bridge that connects us all.

1. Cheer for Emma as she battles to just play the game she loves
2. Hold your breath as Ronin comes back from a serious on-the-field injury
3. Root for an entire team of underdogs who figure out how to play their collective best

Stories are carefully crafted, so they may be seen through the lens of the reader, the athlete, a parent, a teacher, or a coach.

With an inspiring foreword by Jeff Idelson, the former president of the Baseball Hall of Fame and co-founder of Grassroots Baseball, this collection is a must-read for all young readers, whether or not they are baseball fans.

Pick up Bridges Through Baseball and step up to the plate. These stories just might change the way you see the game and the world around you.
