Life Happens in Nine Innings:
Any fan of the game will tell you, baseball tells a story. No, not the crusty dugout stories about
the outrageous antics and the players; the game itself tells a tale every time nine men take the field
between the chalk lines. It has all the tragedy of a Greek play, laughs of a stand up comedian and the
drama of the best action hero movie you've ever seen. Life Happens in Nine Innings tells the tale of
a baseball game with a view from the seats. There are plenty of books about the drama on the field,
this time watch the game with the people in this book. See the game through their eyes. If you want to,
score the game as it is told in the story. You can. Every hit, every out, every run is accounted for.
Join the people at the ballpark. There are plenty of seats still available! The sun is out, the dogs
are cooking and the beer is ice cold.
