A Season with Mom reminds listeners that in life, as in baseball, sometimes you strike out, but sometimes you hit home runs. Even if the wait is longer than you’d hoped, dreams can come true.

Historia
In 2007, pitcher Barry Zito signed a seven-year, $126 million contract with the San Francisco Giants. At that time, it was the largest contract ever given to a pitcher. He was at the top of his game, in peak physical condition, and had the kind of financial security most people can only dream of. He was also miserable. And it began to show. Zito's career declined over the next few years until he hit rock bottom - watching from the bench as his team won the World Series in 2010. In Curveball, Zito shares his story with honesty and transparency.

When Miss Norma was diagnosed with uterine cancer, she was advised to undergo surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. But instead of confining herself to a hospital bed for what could be her last stay, Norma - newly widowed after nearly seven decades of marriage - rose to her full height of five feet and told her doctor, "I'm 90 years old. I'm hitting the road." Packing what she needed, Norma took off on an unforgettable cross-country journey with three professional nomads - her retired son, Tim; his wife, Ramie; and their standard poodle, Ringo.

These were in the pocket of Bengie Molina's father when he died of a heart attack on the rutted Little League field in his Puerto Rican barrio. The items serve as thematic guideposts in Molina's beautiful memoir about his father, who, through baseball, taught his three sons about loyalty, humility, courage, and the true meaning of success.

Historia
Shattered is part sports audio book, because you’ll go on road trips, enter clubhouses, and walk on the fields of professional baseball. It’s part romantic novel, because you’ll journey with two young kids who fall in love and eventually elope, evading not only her family, but the law as well - for she was only 16. It’s also a story of brokenness, betrayal, and burn-out. If you were raised in a dysfunctional family, if you’ve ever had your dreams fall apart, been betrayed by close friends, or hit the psychological “wall” in your professional career, this is your audio book too.

The Soul of Baseball is as much the story of Buck O'Neil as it is the story of baseball. Driven by a relentless optimism and his two great passions - for America's pastime and for jazz, America's music - O'Neil played solely for love. In an era when greedy, steroid-enhanced athletes have come to characterize professional ball, Posnanski offers a salve for the damaged spirit: the uplifting life lessons of a truly extraordinary man who never missed an opportunity to enjoy and love life.

In 1971, a small-town high school baseball team from rural Illinois playing with hand-me-down uniforms and peace signs on their hats defied convention and the odds. Led by an English teacher with no coaching experience, the Macon Ironmen emerged from a field of 370 teams to become the smallest school in Illinois history to make the state final, a distinction that still stands. There, sporting long hair, and warming up to "Jesus Christ Superstar", the Ironmen would play a dramatic game that would change their lives forever.

The seven-foot Dirk Nowitzki is one of the great players in basketball history. With a devastating fadeaway and unexpected agility, the Dallas Mavericks superstar helped to pioneer the modern three-shooting game and became a global ambassador for the sport. Award-winning novelist and sportswriter Thomas Pletzinger traveled with Nowitzki for more than seven years, seeking the secret of his success and longevity. In novelistic detail, Pletzinger tells the dramatic story of how a lanky kid from the German suburbs became a top-five all-time scorer and NBA champion.

A Season with Mom is a homerun!
I loved this book! A great adventure that many dream of doing but few have ever done and certainly not in one season. But the best part of this journey is not what each park offers (it’s fun to hear about the big mitt at SafeCo or the Monster at Fenway but it’s even better to see how Katie saw a lesson in each visit. Each city’s park or team or fans or MVP showed her a new perspective - one she may have shared or learned from her late mother. Written beautifully, this book is for book club junkies as much as it is for baseball fanatics. In the end you’ll be cheering for her and for yourself. It’s a fairly short read so dive in and enjoy it!

A lovely little books of letters that takes you on a grand adventure!
After losing her Mother to cancer, the author decides to fulfill the life long dream they shared, to visit all MLB ballparks in a single season. In search of perspective on their relationship and hoping to feel close to her Mother, the author sets out and writes a letter to her Mother with every ballpark, every game. Full of real stories and anecdotes about these vibrant and imperfect people, the story brings a fresh perspective on the beautiful, sometimes challenging, but ultimately influential relationships between mothers and daughters.
I loved the truth of this story, it’s a real description of real people, who were motivated, flawed, dedicated and loving. This book is about love, about loss, about Baseball and about the lessons the game can teach all of us. This clever little book is a thoughtful gift for anyone experiencing loss, a major life change, baseball fans, mothers and daughters, and really anyone who has ever felt like America’s pastime holds a special place in their hearts.
Note- the author reads the story herself which I always love because I think it lends a unique sense of the timing and tone of the story! Don’t miss out on this home run.
