Me and E: a Baseball Odyssey David Bornstein 第1 版

"Me and E: A Baseball Odyssey is a reflection on parenting a highly skilled, nationally-ranked and difficult baseball prodigy, told through the author's eyes as he witnessed and participated in the successes and failures of his son playing baseball and growing up in Central Florida. It deals with the changing world of competitive youth sports, over-involved parents, fanatical coaches, the hypocrisies inherent in high school athletics, the college recruiting process and how we teach our kids to grow up and become decent human beings - despite ourselves. It involves well-known sports figures as well as local sports icons with traits and characteristics that everyone will recognize. It?s a book about flawed parenting, about living vicariously through a gifted child and learning, finally, that being a good father is as much about letting go as it is about being there. Call it Moneyball meets Everything I Know I Learned in Kindergarten.
