The Baseball Diet Book

By Patrick Ryan

THE BASEBALL DIET BOOK-Where the magic of America's pastime meets the wonder of everyday life

Step up to the plate with Patrick Ryan's collection of nine unforgettable tales where the extraordinary hides in the ordinary corners of America's favorite game. From the 400-pound pitcher who masters the mysterious "gyroball" to find both baseball glory and love, to a magical scorebook that can change the outcome of games, these stories celebrate the quirky, heartfelt connections between baseball and life's deeper meanings.

With characters like Juan Diego witnessing a miracle in centerfield, a schizophrenic outfielder on a mission to save a piece of baseball history, and a young boy discovering the true power of his scorekeeping, Ryan crafts a lineup of tales that will delight fans and non-fans alike.

Perfect for readers who cherish the unique blend of nostalgia, hope, and possibility that only baseball can provide.

"The Baseball Diet Book is an endearing collection of stories describing the struggles of uncommon moments, both humorous and serious, and brings us closer to the reality of baseball's goodness, hope, and destiny in our lives. Patrick Ryan is a quintessential baseball storyteller."
