Masterfully told and inspirational, this is a book for all to enjoy. Here's more... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGlenn Robert Davis (nicknamed Bob) was just a regular 14 year old kid from suburban Chicago-until he spent an incredible season on big league fields with many of the stars of this exciting era in MLB history. Illustrated with pictures and memorabilia, this is his remembrance of that journey.\u003cp\u003eSpecifically, the book describes the personal growth Bob enjoyed that year and is filled with happiness, a bit of drama, some sadness, incredible joy and a few significant challenges to overcome as well. While the focus of this work is on the experiences he had during that amazing era in history, moreover it speaks to the lessons he learned then that he still carries with him in his life today. Along the way, we learn about Bob's family, where he grew up and how his relationship with the great game of baseball evolved over the years. Bob also shares with us many of the lessons \u003ci\u003eThe Game\u003c\/i\u003e taught him, both on and off the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch more than just a collection of stories or name droppings, the work intends to provide the reader with insights that go beyond the corners of the ball diamond and well beyond his days working on them. It is not an expose or tell-all book; the reader will not hear deep insights into the player's personalities, phantom tales of their off-field antics or what the team managers might have said behind closed doors in the Clubhouse, etc. which as a kid, he was never privy to. However, the stories Bob relates are one's that he personally experienced both on and off the field and are not based on locker room gossip. Rather, this is a wholesome \u003ci\u003ecoming of age\u003c\/i\u003e account of Bob's life-journey and how his role as the White Sox Visiting Team Bat Boy impacted him, helping to shape the \u003ci\u003eGrain\u003c\/i\u003e within his heart forever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo come aboard and put yourself into Bob's shoes as you follow him into those memories from a time when the very fabric of the Nation and that of Major League Baseball, were being tested as never before.
