Bridges Through Baseball: Baseball Stories That Connect Us All

By: Jeffrey L. Young

Courage. Persistence. Mentoring. Resilience.

This is not your average young person's book about baseball.

In Bridges Through Baseball, the author draws on his experiences as an athlete, coach, father, and sports medicine specialist to share stories about overcoming our differences, working through personal challenges, learning the value of teamwork, and striving to become the best we can be.

Baseball is a bridge that connects us all.
