Dear Baseball Gods: A Memoir

By: Dan Blewett

Narrated by: Dan Blewett

Dear baseball gods,

Why didn't you look out for him? Didn't he deserve better? He hustled, competed, and played the game the right way. What happened wasn't fair.

A second comeback

Dan sat by a tree, staring at the ground trying to decide what he would do next. The doctor had just explained that everything he worked for was now ruined. A second Tommy John surgery? Does anyone come back from that? Is my career over? Is this it?

A winding road to the top

As a walk-on in college, Dan had to earn everything. He pitched on three hours sleep, lived in the clubhouse, played for a team that collapsed mid-season, and endured more arm pain than any kid should.

A way to move on

When finally forced to hang up his cleats, Dan looked in the mirror and didn't recognize the man peering back. If no longer a ballplayer...what would he do? What had been the point of it all? Who was he?

The deeper side of life as an athlete

In this philosophical memoir, authored as a series of letters, you'll learn that the pinstripes don't wash off so easily.

Heartwarming and realistic

Even if you’re not a baseball fan, this a great story anyone can relate to about reaching for your dreams, coming to terms with things not always turning out exactly how you hope, and how are lives are shaped by the striving. Dan opens up in a very human way. His journey is punctuated by funny events and setbacks along the way. This was a really good listen.

Well read and unique story

Enjoyable story for anyone that relate to sports and realities of trying to make it.
