“The best baseball book I have ever read . . . Price gives us an understanding of minor-league baseball, of small-town America, of faith and love and loyalty.” —Philadelphia Daily News
On a July evening in 2007, during a Double-A Arkansas Travelers game, a foul ball rocketed off Tino Sanchez’s bat and struck first-base coach Mike Coolbaugh. The thirty-five-year-old father of two—with another on the way—was killed almost instantly. Heart of the Game tells the story of this tragic event and its aftermath, and of the minor-league players and coaches who dedicate themselves to the sport all over America, far from the celebrities, scandals, and multimillion-dollar contracts of Major League Baseball. Named the #1 Baseball Book of the Year by Baseball America, it brings us into a world of small-town sports and small-town lives, and the pure joy of a game played away from the noise of mindless internet blather and media hype.
