The book tells the story of how the Czech Republic’s team of amateur players–firefighters\, teachers\, and even field caretakers by day–upset both Spain and then China to win the 2023 World Baseball Classic through teamwork\, sacrifice\, and self-belief. \nCome share an evening of discussion about America’s most beloved pastime\, focusing on the pure love of the game. \nCopies of both books will be available for purchase.
