Book Description
It Was More Than Just A Game... "Boys, be quick with the bat tonight and make sure you time his fastball when you are on deck because you know it is coming," Coach Wright instructed us as we sat nervously in the dugout, watching the Indians' star hurler warm-up, and waiting anxiously for the championship game to begin. It was an epic battle for city bragging rights that played out over two summer months, but the memories lasted much longer. For Alex Marks, the summer of 1991 brought with it his last season in Little League. At the time, it simply was the chance for he and his teammates to win one more title, while facing their greatest challenge. Little did he realize that afterward, his life would never be the same. Over two decades later, Marks' memories are as vibrant as the days themselves, and this memoir follows him reminiscing about a time when everything was simpler, when back doors were still left open, and when he was still blessed with the magic of childhood innocence. Readers, young and old, will enjoy this delightful journey chronicling two months of his adolescent life, where the lessons he learned and the character it forged still have relevance today.

Book Description
Are you trying to find your place in this world? Are you ready to take the next big step? Perhaps you are graduating high school or college or starting a new job and are facing uncertainty and fear that comes from the unknown. Funny, but the sport of baseball might help guide your way forward. Since its birth in the late 1800's, Baseball has evolved into one of the most popular sports in the world. It combines athleticism, strategy, and luck to produce some of the most exciting moments in competitive history. As a coach of youth baseball for several years, it was wonderful to see the kids develop into real ball players. Even better, spending all those hours at the field helped reveal something amazing. Hidden in the game, beyond the balls and strikes, were valuable secrets. Secrets that could change the way you think and live your life. Hiding in baseball is a treasure trove of life lessons to learn whether young or old; all designed to help us maximize our success. If you want to be an all-star in life, Life Lessons Learned from Little League (5L) is a humorous (hopefully) attempt to document the ways we can learn from baseball and apply the proper mindset to be a better person. Perfect for those special milestones in life or for the athlete in the family, 5L unlocks the simple things you can do to hit a personal home run. Batter up!

Book Description
Using America's favorite pastime as an analogy, this collection of essays teaches children how to apply the lessons learned in baseball to everyday situations. This guide, filled with invaluable advice, enables adolescents to grow into adults while providing perspective on the sport and the complexities of life. The essays are derived from common themes in baseball but relate to dilemmas experienced off the field. The chapter "Some Days You're the Bat, Some Days You're the Ball" is an allusion to good days versus bad and reminds children that some rules have reasons, although they will probably question them. The sage guidance offers ways to control your emotions by channeling them into better efforts and tips to summon courage whether you are standing at the bat, undergoing surgery, or delivering a speech. The importance of paying attention to detail and respect for authority, along with advice on how to deal with adversity, is included in this indispensable compilation. Andy Norwood underscores the significance of teamwork, self-sacrifice, and the humility experienced after a loss. Each lesson is preceded by a quote from such celebrities as Jay Leno, Maya Angelou, and Albert Einstein. The work incorporates anecdotes from Major League Baseball and significant moments in the sport's history, making this book an enjoyable read for adults and their children.
