Whatever happened to Baseball?

In these days of stress and uncertainty it is always a pleasure when you have the opportunity to take your mind off the craziness for a bit.

There is a new book out that will bring back memories of your childhood and have you grining from ear to ear. If you played youth baseball you gotta read this book. If you want to teach your children about life, read this book, then read it to your kids.

I am not one to hawk a product for someone else over the internet. Matter of fact a make it a rule not to. I have no monetary involvement in pushing this book. I do however know the man who wrote it. Jeff Potter had myself and many other parents scratching our heads over many decisions he made on the field. He would prove us wrong every time. From starting what many considered the worst pitcher on the team in a championship game only to have him throw a shutout against a team that should have crushed him. To benching the best player in the state to make a point. You will be smiling when you read this book. I was as I delightfully relived my youth.

After every chapter I found myself shaking my head -- those were my experiences playing youth baseball. I learned those life lessons the same way Potter teaches and coaches, although I never quite "got it" at the time. The kids Potter coached eventually all "got it". I have never been a big reader but I read this book from cover to cover without putting it down. If you are a sports fanatic and have kids you will thank me for turning you on to this book....  if you want to teach your children life lessons or if you yourself need a reality check, get this book!

read this book then pass it to your kids...... it is that important and teaches life lessons in ways that hit home!

Lewis...I love baseball. Youth coach as my kid grew up, mini-season seat holder for Angels.

But...it is college football season now and that is as good as it gets.

Lewis - I love sports books there are so many life lessons in sports.  My daughter has played on a competitive soccer team since she was 11 - she's now 18 and I am so happy we became devoted to her games and practices.  She realizes already a lot of the life lessons she learned from playing soccer and I am truly grateful for them.  Some parents have their children playing competitive sports in hopes of a scholarship to college; my husband and I just wanted her to have fun and learn about life through playing a team sport.  It's been great!  Although I don't have young children I will enjoy reading this book I'm sure and can maybe use some of it with grandchildren someday!

Baseball was a great sport to coach my kids through and extremely fun to watch. I once pitched a no hitter in my daughter's coach pitch league. I know sick, but I was excited...

Lewis, some of the best lessons and analogies in life come from sports. I will go check the book out. I am needing a new book to read anyway.

Thanks and have a great weekend!

In a nutshell, football.  I think football has taken the place of baseball as the most loved sport in the US.
