Ball Three: A Loving, Laughable, Lightheartedly Loathing Look at Little League
Thank you for making my book the Most Controversial, Least-Sold Book in Literary History!
Greatdadbooks.com’s Best Book of Summer 2024 Award winner.
An edgy, whimsical account describing a father's problematic journey coaching Little League
Little League’s ‘Ball Four’. As Jim Bouton’s controversial book Ball Four provided an unfiltered insider's expose into Major League’s chaotic climate, Ball Three transparently unveils the lunacy of Little League. Like Bouton, the author’s anecdotal journal lands him in ridiculous situations and constantly butting heads with the establishment.
Step up to the plate into the whimsical world of youth baseball with the edgy, humorous work Ball A Loving, Laughable, Lightheartedly Loathing Look at Little League, candidly detailing the 10-year coaching and fatherhood odyssey through a pretentious Little League, whose grass is inevitably always greener.
Through quirky storytelling, the book sheds light on youth sports' virtues and absurdities. Follow along as the author navigates (problematically) an offbeat squad of underachieving boys from unmitigated disaster to success and……Spoiler Alert!…….possibly even triumph.
Unlike traditional Little League books aimed at kids, this refreshing real-life romp targets the parents of these youths, offering amusement amidst the unpredictable world of youth sports.
Perfect for fathers, the author’s delightful diatribe promises an engaging read with its unconventional writing style, complete with preemptive redactions, an abundance of amusingly absurd alliteration, farcical footnotes, playful pictures, and super-silly, satirical side stories.
Easy yet insightful, A Loving, Laughable, Lightheartedly Loathing Look at Little League is a literary excursion worth taking. Depart your digital dugout and take your swing at discovering father-son and coaching insight while enjoying a lighthearted literary trek.
