A Classics' Place

Get ready, 'cause here we come...Just a quick note to let you know that Where's The Play will be published and ready for prime time in the next two or three weeks! Be on the lookout for it! And you thought it would never happen, didn't you! Yeah, well so did I! I'm self publishing through a POD (Print On Demand) company....I plan on having this out in hard copy (paperback) and then shortly thereafter, as an e-book. Here is the text from the back-cover:

WHERE’S THE PLAY? Three words that may not mean much to most people, but words that were seared into our tiny little orb-like brains by our new Knothole League baseball coach. These words would contribute to our perfect trifecta: achieving our every hope and dream, restoring prominence to our community, and saving our sponsor from the ache of financial ruin. My dad, our new coach, barked these signature words whenever the opposing batter came to the plate. Little did we know that words spoken to us on a baseball field as young children would continue to guide our lives many years later.

Few kid leagues exist with as formidable a team as Shotwell’s Shockers. They were every opponent’s nightmare and every coach’s dream. We were faced with just such a curse. We had the good fortune of two advantages; our pitcher, and a new coach to lead us through a most amazing summer.

There is plenty of summer fun and laughter interspersed with memories of days gone by. As much a book on the value of goodhearted, caring coaching and sponsorship as it is one of playing the game, the reader will be inspired by the positive, visionary coach; equally enamored by the loveable, affable sponsor; and unavoidably enchanted by a team of misfits that, against great odds, fights its way to the elusive championship game.
