My Life in Extra Innings by James White and really enjoyed it. I do have a personal connection since I designed the cover and he is my dad, but I am a reader at heart. Whether it was my dad or someone else, I would have still read it.

Although it took me a bit longer to finish because of a busy schedule, I really appreciated the heart and emotion woven throughout the story. At its core, it centers around baseball, but what stood out most to me were the relationships and the depth they added. Those moments brought everything together in a really impactful way and made the story feel grounded and real.

Everyone who loves the sport and wants to learn more about baseball go read it :)
