How a Father and Son Learned to Love Baseball Again

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The moving story of how a father and his young son recaptured their love of baseball-a winning testament to why the game matters and how it can still bring us together in spite of itself. In recent years something hasn't been quite right with baseball. Ask Jim Gullo: he'll tell you even a seven-year-old kid knows it. In December 2007, just as Jim's young son Joe was beginning to develop a true passion for the game, the bombshell news of players' steroid use made it clear that America's pastime wasn't what it claimed to be. Suddenly, Jim found himself struggling to answer questions from Joe that had nothing to do with batting averages or World Series champions: What are steroids? Who was using them? Wasn't it cheating? Why weren't the players who got caught suspended or punished by baseball?
