Berkowitz got it right. He is a great storyteller . . . He told it like it is.-MLB ReportsThe book's got heart.-TabletA uniquely Jewish story . . . The narrative made me laugh out loud, and it brought tears to my eyes . . . It is as much a story about baseball as it is about a father's relationship with his son, and with his own father.-Jewish Baseball NewsJosh describes the real life quirky people so masterfully that you instantly feel for them . . . Josh weaves his story skillfully with both pleasant and sad twists that will keep you reading. And throughout the story he tactfully teaches kids and dads alike the importance of overcoming the fear that holds us back. If you love youth baseball and feel good stories you will enjoy this true David vs Goliath story about an all Jewish youth baseball team.-StatsDadEach and every summer since 1996, ten thousand elite players from California to Florida visit Dreams Park in upstate New York to measure themselves against the very best.

It's the Bad News Bears meets The Chosen in this humorous, yet poignant, memoir.A lovely, inspirational baseball and family story, with a great message-perfect for any parent, grandparent, or young fan of the game.-Boston Red ThoughtsBORN AND RAISED in Boston, Joshua Berkowitz is an avid Red Sox fan.
