Chronicles of a Little League coach: A story told in 6 innings

Introduction

The six essays that follow are for my son, Tyler. Not for the 14-year-old high school freshman he is today. But for who he will be someday in the future. Maybe for the day he becomes a father, if that day should ever come. But for someday when he might appreciate them. When he might understand why I wrote them for him.
