About the book:
Meet the people that kindle the flame of baseball as America’s pastime in It’s Just a Game.
They’re not just baseball players. From blue collar to white collar, they’re police officers, teachers, delivery drivers, insurance salesmen, and people you meet on the street every day. On their evenings and weekends, they spend their time chasing the goal of every player in Wisconsin’s Home Talent League, to win a championship.
Trying to execute the perfect sacrifice bunt is only part of their worries. Life doesn’t stop for baseball. Along the way, they deal with everything from small-town politics to the death of a loved one. But the one thing they all have in common is the love of the game.

Hi Brian, I miss hearing your Training Camp commentary this year. It was really cool hearing such depth from the same person each day. The book sounds like a great story that was begging to be told…
Thanks, Lynn. I’m still providing commentary on training camp at Cheesehead TV this year, albeit not as much as last year.
Brian,
Congrats on getting the book published. I don’t coach Stoughton Home Talent any more. I moved to Dubuque for a better newspaper job and now coach the semi-pro Dubuque Blues baseball team. Can’t wait to add the book to my collection of baseball books.
Great job!
