Hohenstein, Kurt The Rules of the Game
Nashville Thomas Nelson Inc 1996 0785275045 / 9780785275046 First Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
7.25 x 1.00 x 5.25; 221 pages; "In January 1993 I was a lawyer, a county attorney, a Nebraska state senator, a Little League coach, a husband and 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 into the world's playing field. Author Kurt Hohenstein forgot some of those lessons. The Rules of the Game, the book Hohenstein wrote inside the Community Corrections Center in Lincoln, Nebraska is not about his incarceration but about baseball and learning the lessons again. Naturally, baseball teaches about winning and lose, 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.
