A Year of Playing Catch

History & Biography

“Wanna play catch?!” Ahh, music to my ears. Reading this book took me back through a childhood of asking that question and especially the disappointment and the excitement of the answers. For the first time in decades, I thought about my childhood friend Billy, who always said yes. The disappointment when dad didn’t have time to say yes was just as bitter when I read about Bryan and his dad. In Bryan’s description of that new glove, I smiled at the memory of buying my first glove. Bryan’s love and appreciation for baseball comes through on every page, but the real gift to readers is how he allows us to use his journey to retrace our own. What a gift!”
