The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball: The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball: Lessons for Life from Homer's ODYSSEY to the World Series

Do you want answers to life’s biggest questions? Look to the wisdom of the ancients…and to baseball!

Who are you, how are you supposed to live, and what about happiness?

In The Ancient Wisdom of Baseball, author Christian Sheppard interweaves Homer’s epics with glorious stories from the green fields of America’s pastime, celebrating Achilles’ courage and Odysseus’ cunning along with the virtues of Hall of Fame players such as Jackie Robinson and Babe Ruth and of great teams such as the 2004 Red Sox and the 2016 Cubs. Along the way, Sheppard humorously recollects trying to raise his baby daughter true to the teachings of ancient myth and his beloved game. The result is an endearing, insightful, and inspiring guide to cultivating virtue and becoming the hero of your own life’s odyssey.
