Dear Baseball Gods 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, written as a series of letters, you'll learn that the pinstripes don't wash off so easily.
