Jamie McKinven, author of "Tales from the Bus Leagues". This is the first book written by the former minor leaguer who spent several seasons grinding it out in the NCAA, ECHL, CHL and in Europe. Along the way, while riding the buses, living paycheque to paycheque and spending the summers living in his grandmother's basement, he discovered a great deal about life, love and the value of following through on a dream.
