Third Base For Life

"Third Base for Life" by Josh Berkowitz is an interesting book. It's the story of a youth baseball team that heads to Cooperstown to play in one of the most prestigious baseball tournaments in the country. The only problem? Most of the kids have never played baseball before, and they certainly are not all stars like the rest of the kids in the tournament. You feel like this should be a Bad News Bears kind of story, but it takes some interesting turns. As a dad, I thought it was a touching story, and as a baseball fan, I got caught up in the drama of the game.

Overall, a good read. It's a moving story about baseball, being a dad, and what success really means. It's also a quick one - even given the length.
