NOTES

"The Bad News Bears" meets "Friday Night Lights". A powerful, unfiltered account of the passionate youth baseball culture in a decaying American city. An aging and aimless bachelor agrees to help a local little league team and finds his life forever altered from the experience. "Little Field, Big Time Baseball" is really two books in one. An uplifting ride with a group of fiercely competitive pre-teen ballplayers and the every man dad who took them under his wing for 3 crazy seasons. It's also a cautionary tale of the excesses in American youth sports brought on by adults mentoring and often smothering children in the ultimate kid's game
