“Baseball has been my passion since the time I started playing the game as a child and it remains that way today, 60 some years later. I hope that the words contained in these books will encourage youngsters everywhere to love the game as I did.
Writing children’s books was something I never thought about until 2008 when I was inspired by my seven grandchildren. My goal was to leave an imprint on their lives, or simply make them happy. Through that inspiration, I came up with the stories of Paul The Baseball, Matt The Bat, and Kitt The Mitt. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them.”
