"In January 1993, I was a lawyer, a county attorney, a Nebraska state senator, a Little League coach, a husband and a father. By October of that year, I was where I am now- in prison- serving time, years of time for theft, and my status as all but a father...is over."
It has often been said that baseball is a metaphor for life - the lessons learned on the ball diamond somehow carry over to life's playing field. In a lyrical and nostalgic manner, Author Kurt Hohenstein takes you back to when you were a kid the reverence you felt for a perfectly manicured ball field, the aroma of leather you smelled in your mitt, and the feeling you had when you connected for a base hit. Hohenstein wrote the book inside the walls of a Nebraska prison, but the book it not about his incarceration, but about baseball, and the lessons he forgot and learned again.
Baseball teaches us about winning and losing, success and failure. But it also teaches that sometimes you get a bad hop and there is nothing you can do about it; sometimes you get hit with a pitch but you have to get right back in the batter's box your next time up; and even the weakest player on the team will have his moment of glory if you let him.
"Little League is much more than a game played by young children," Hohenstein says. "The essence of Little League is simply that all of life's lessons can be taught and learned within the confines of a ball diamond, in a small-town ballpark, on a sunny summer afternoon."
The Rules of the Game is written for baseball lovers, but it is also written for adults who want to learn or remember the lessons the game can teach. Hohenstein takes you on a joyous ride of remembrance, and redeems himself with his learned humility and quiet grace.
