The Lifelong Dreams and Lessons series provides inspiration based on real life experience to young men and women to reach for their own dream and to aspire to be the very best that they can be. In The Baseball Kid the reader adventures into the world of youth sports and follows the dream of a young boy on his quest to play professional baseball. Life is a journey that doesn't always take the turns that you would like to see but there are lessons to be learned from every experience. The author takes the reader with him on a journey from T-ball to a professional baseball tryout camp. The story is about a dream of playing professional baseball that doesn't quite come true and how the failure is handled. Just like in the game of life we learn that victory isn't always found on the scoreboard and that handling defeat can often be more important than how you handle victory. Each chapter includes a quote from a famous baseball personality as well as thoughtful lifelong advice from The Baseball Kid. This story is suitable for readers ages 10 and up.
