New York Times BestsellerIts this years baseball book most likely to be made into a terrific movie. The Chicago TribuneAffecting...A simply told, deeply moving story, quite unlike the usual baseball book. Kirkus Reviews (starred review)A baseball rules book. A tape measure. A lottery ticket.These were in the pocket of Bengie Molinas father when he died of a heart attack on the rutted Little League field in his Puerto Rican barrio. The items serve as thematic guideposts in Molinas beautiful memoir about his father, who through baseball taught his three sons about loyalty, humility, courage, and the true meaning of success.Bengie and his two brothersJose and sixtime AllStar Yadierbecame famous catchers in the Major Leagues and have six World Series championships among them. Only the DiMaggio brothers can rival the Molinas as the most accomplished siblings in baseball history.Bengie was the least likely to reach the Majors. He was too slow, too sensitive, and too small. But craving his beloved fathers respect, Bengie weathered failure after deflating failure until one day he was hoisting a World Series trophy in a champagnesoaked clubhouse. All along he thought he was fulfilling his fathers own failed dream of baseball gloryonly to discover it had not been his fathers dream at all.Written with the emotional power of sports classics such as Field of Dreams and Friday Night Lights, Molina is a love story between a formidable but flawed father and a son who, in unearthing answers about his fathers life, comes to understand his own.
