Description


More than just a book about baseball, these nine poignant short stories share the genuine love and lure of the game, and the way it touches the lives of the people who play it across America.

Meet astronauts, farmers, business tycoons, minor-leaguers, an aging peanut vendor, Civil War soldiers, and more, all with baseballs firmly held in hand.
