This book was written from the heart & shaped by the journeys I've been blessed to share. My wife, Kelly, has been a constant source of inspiration, encouragement, & love throughout the process. Her belief in me and her presence in my life made this book possible. The Ride Home was also inspired by countless coaches, families, and young athletes whose stories remind us that baseball is more than a game-it's a classroom for life. Every conversation, every moment in the car after the final pitch, carries lessons about character, resilience, and love GIVE 100% BECAUSE WHEN YOU DO, YOU CAN'T FAIL
