Dreams and Baseball (All Nine Innings) Reagan Rothe

A baseball story. Inspired by Leslie "Tex" Aulds, Walt Rothe, and Ryan Rothe. 1999 was a year unlike any other for Jeff Hartes. He met the love of his life, experienced surreal, life-like dreams, and lost so much in a single, Triple-A season of baseball. The story unfolds with an elderly man remembering that magical season and sharing with the reader the reality of what baseball's truly like; the "inside the ropes" atmosphere and "behind the scenes" superstitions and bedlam. This is a baseball tale that hasn't been told before, not free from the brutal truths, the comedic outbursts, and a heart-shattering sadness. Up and down, life travels sometimes very similar to a baseball season. And comparable to real life, things don't always go perfectly and end with a fairy-tale closing.
