Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An irreverent black comedy about sex, drugs, murder… and children's baseball. Dwayne Devero is just like you and me, except he simply doesn’t give a s**t any more. He’s had enough. He’s done with people living life wrong. You’ll do it right, or he’ll bury you under the bases at the ballpark where he coaches. It’s just that simple. Tired of poor decisions being made all around him, from the politics of player positions on his son's little league baseball team to the philandering of his wife in his own bedroom, Dwayne decides that breaking is better than bending. What follows is a wild ride full of carnage and revenge, led by a man who will stop at absolutely nothing to bring honor back to his family, his community… and children's baseball. Baseball Dads is a pitch black comedy in which one man takes on the duty of bludgeoning honor back into a sometimes dishonorable world.

This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unforgettable look at how baseball families share our national pastime. Baseball honors legacies—from cheering the home team to breaking in an old glove handed down from father to son. In The Dad Report, award-winning sportswriter Kevin Cook weaves a tapestry of uplifting stories in which fathers and sons—from the sport's superstars to Cook and his own ball-playing father—share the game. Almost two hundred father-son pairs have played in the big leagues. Cook takes us inside the clubhouses, homes, and lives of many of the greats. Aaron Boone follows grandfather Bob, father Ray, and brother Bret to the majors—three generations of All-Stars. Barry Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr. strive to outdo their famous dads. Michael Jordan walks away from basketball to play minor-league baseball—to fulfill his father's dream. In visiting these legendary families, Cook discovers that ball-playing families are a lot like our own. Dan Haren regrets the long road trips that keep him from his kids. Ike Davis and his father, a former Yankee, debate whether Ike should pitch or play first base. Buddy Bell leads a generation of big-leaguers determined to open their workplace—the clubhouse—to their kids. Framing The Dad Report is the story of Kevin Cook's own father, Art Cook, a minor-league pitcher, a loveable rogue with a wicked screwball. In Art's later years, Kevin phoned him almost every night to talk baseball. They called those nightly conversations "the Dad Report." In time, Kevin came to see that these conversations were about much more than the game. That's what this book is about: the way fathers and sons talk baseball as a way of talking about everything—courage, fear, fun, family, morality, mortality, and how it's not whether you win or lose that counts, it's how you share the game.

Book excerpt: "Covering Home" weaves the secret lessons of being a good father through anecdotes and allegories of baseball, drawing on the game's richness of meaning, history and tradition to delight and guide fathers and would-be fathers on the path to effective fatherhood. The author's love for the game and for the art of fatherhood is evident in his prose, which sparkles with insight, compassion, and a touch of wit. A sample: "The Baltimore Orioles had a unique outfielder back in the seventies named Ken Singleton, and he had an unusual habit: whenever he stepped up to bat, he would reach down and pick up three pebbles. These pebbles were a reminder that each time he batted he was entitled to three good pitches. This consciously repeated act heightened his awareness, and increased his discipline and patience as a hitter. . . . "Covering Home" speaks to fathers in their own language to spread an important message: give yourself to your children the way a player gives himself to the game he loves, looking at every part of yourself to see how you could be a better father. Jack Petrash is a writer, speaker and retired teacher. His articles appear in numerous education and parenting journals, and he speaks frequently to father's groups and educational conferences throughout the U.S. and Canada. He is married and the father of three, including the world's biggestfifth-grade Cal Ripken fan. He lives in Kensington, MD.

Book excerpt: Paul O'Neill was the undisputed heart and soul of the four-time World Series-winning New York Yankees from 1993 to 2001. O'Neill epitomized the team's motto of hard work and good sportsmanship, traits instilled in him by his friend, confidant, lifelong model, and biggest fan: his dad, Chick O'Neill. In Me and My Dad, O'Neill writes from the heart about the man who inspired in him a love for the game and a determination to always play his best. O'Neill remembers the highlights of his own amazing career: the Cincinnati Reds calling him up to the majors, his first World Series, being traded to the Yankees -- and taking part in their recent championship wins. He also reflects on his father's untimely death during the 1999 World Series and on the farewell tribute his fans gave him during his last game in Yankee Stadium.

Five hundred thousand a year of their close family and friends follow suit to witness the unrivaled quality of play in the heated contest. Third Base for Life is the first-hand account of how an ordinary father who had not played baseball since Little League managed to put together a team of ordinary kids and somehow gained admittance to a world where they simply do not belong.It's the true story of twelve ragtag and outmatched fourth-grade boys from a small Jewish day school in Newton, Massachusetts who band together to challenge the top ten-year-old baseball talent in the country at Cooperstown Dreams Park, one of the nation's most prestigious youth tournaments. It's the Bad News Bears meets The Chosen in this humorous, yet poignant, memoir."A lovely, inspirational baseball and family story, with a great messageâ€”perfect for any parent, grandparent, or young fan of the game."â€”Boston Red Thoughts
