Beaverball
A (Winning) Season With The Mit Baseball Team
“How did this team – known more for its SAT scores than its batting average – achieve beyond expectations?” Beaverball details the story of a remarkable team of unlikely winners. Coached by a former Marine Reservist, the team learns to overcome adversity on and off the field. The story reminds us of the impact that coaches, parents, and teachers have on developing our values, human potential, and leadership skills.
While the “analytical” MIT players were often outmatched by superior athletes and stronger programs, they were able – on occasion – to win the big games.
If you love baseball, or want to be inspired, this book is for you.
