This is a collection of baseball stories from award winning authors, college professors, baseball broadcasters, former players and baseball fans about the influence their Mom or Dad had on their lifelong passion for the love of America's National Pastime. In his new book "Hey Mom, wanna have a catch?" author Rob Sheinkopf has collected 42 baseball stories, adding to eight of his own, evoking emotions from contributors as they tell of their Dad taking them to their first Major League Baseball game, their Mom buying them their first glove, the late night phone call after their favorite team finally won it all, the phone call bringing comfort after a tough loss, and yes, for the lucky ones... their Mom or Dad having a catch with them in the backyard. As Rob puts it, "For my generation, our fathers and mothers survived the Great Depression, WWII, Vietnam era protests and massive social changes; they smoked cigarettes, ate red meat with reckless abandon and their big scary cars didn't have seatbelts or headrests; and when they came home from a long, hard day at work, they had little energy left to play catch with their sons and daughters. Yet somehow, with their love and kindness, they supported our obsession for baseball, so it could be passed on to the next generation." This heartfelt and unique collection of stories about our parents reflects the depth of emotions we feel as we reminisce about our childhood and the kindness of our parents, remembering our first baseball glove, our first professional game, and baseball, our first love.

Autorenporträt
Rob Sheinkopf is a retired college admissions director, originally from Syracuse, New York. A baseball fan all his life, Rob grew up on the Syracuse Chiefs. In his retirement years he has worked for the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park where he listened to fans telling him their baseball stories, developing the idea for this book. Here he has found a forum in which to tell his own baseball stories and share those of others whose parents nurtured their love of the game. Rob and his wife, Lisa Boughner, provide a loving home for their dog, Bochy, in Las Vegas as well as in Ponte Vedra, Florida, dividing their time between the two, trading intense heat for uncomfortable humidity at various times of the year to be with their 4-year-old granddaughter, Molly, and her mom and dad.
