David Schnell is the author of award-winning book, "The Night Before Baseball at the Park by the Bay". Schnell is the 2014 Silver Winner of the Bill Fisher Award for Best First Book (Children's/Young Adult)" - IBPA Benjamin Franklin Awards and 2014 Silver Award Winner of the IPPY for Best Children's Picture Book (7 & Under)", IBPA. David was inspired to produce this children's book by his young son's love for all things baseball. When David and his wife Sara introduced baseball to their toddler, the game instantly became a shared family passion. A glove and ball were constant companions, and playing catch became a nightly ritual. As avid readers, they longed for a children's picture book that captured baseball's magic. This book is the result as it celebrates the San Francisco Giants and pays tribute to the game and its young fans
