Synopsis
Drawing on baseball’s rich history and traditions, this guide to effective fathering reveals the secret lessons of being a good father in anecdotes and allegories of the game. These insights speak to fathers in their own language and urge them to give themselves to their children the way a player gives himself to the game he loves; to look at every part of themselves to see how they can improve; to involve themselves in their children’s lives through activity, emotion, and awareness; and to have patience, especially with themselves. Written with insight, compassion, and wit, it offers support and guidance down the path of being successful, caring parents to their sons and daughters.

From the Inside Flap
"I have so many memories throughout my life that have been provided through baseball, but the strongest ones are those provided by my father. Almost all of the life lessons that my brothers, sister and I learned from dad were related to us through baseball. Jack Petrash seems to have captured that deep connection between fathers, their children, and baseball in Covering Home." --Cal Ripken, Jr.
