Pam Carey’s Minor League MomPublished by: Barking Cat Books

An openly honest and moving account of a family's voyage through the minor leagues. Minor League Mom chronicles the blow by blow account of two brothers and their parents as they pursued the fulfillment of their dreams. What does it take to survive the jungle of minor league ball and is it worth it?
