Produktbeschreibung

A Fathers Baseball Dream Becomes a Sons Journey is about a sons journey of failures, victories, and surprises, with many sacrifices being made by family members. His path was also made possible by the contributions of the several friends and associates along the way. His induction into the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Fame was the culmination of his career, all while acknowledging that God was in control at all times. The foreword is written by former Major League Baseball commissioner Peter Ueberroth, and the introduction is written by Roland Hemond, voted Major League Executive of the Year for three different years. The book contains testimonies from well-known former Major League players, Bobby Grich, Doug DeCinces, Joe Rudi, and others. These and others were players whom I partnered with in developing their skills. He tells of Gods intervention and prayers that were answered in the process of decisions being made.
