My Mother's Dream: Baseball With the Bankers

"My Mother's Dream" is a beautifully written story about friendship, love, and ball players from a small Indiana town who played with big hearts. It is more than a baseball book. Lightle captures a time in America when men held tight to their boyhood dreams and to the women they loved. But the Bankers could be a mischievous bunch away from the field. "My Mother's Dream carries readers back to a time and place that will stay with them long after the final page has been read. "You can almost hear the whispers of the past call out to you on how simple and fun the game was meant to be. This book reminded me of how the game of baseball was played with boyhood innocence." -Matthew R. Kinzer, former pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals. "...Baseball is the greatest game on Earth for the reason that it allows for individuality within a team concept. This book reminds everyone of the true meaning of the game - to have fun and build character." -Zach McClellan, former pitcher for the Colorado Rockies.
