A true story about Joe Graves, who as a boy, wanted to play professional baseball, despite the fact that from childhood, and through most of high school, he couldn't even make a team. Even though he got cut from teams in little league, junior high, high school, college, and several pro tryouts, the dream kept him going, and eventually he played several years in professional baseball. At the end of his baseball career, shortened by injury, he discovers something much more rewarding than baseball, yet not as hard or elusive - being a father. This has many humorous stories of the true life that a minor league baseball player leads, and guides you through the wonderful adventures of being a father. This book was written as a high school graduation gift for his son.
