"A philosophical memoir that traces the life of a baseball player turned academic that explores the larger implications of sports"--

Using a dialogue format, each chapter in this text explores such issues as: does God exist?; are religious experiences reliable?; the problem of evil; the nature of God; religious pluralism; the meaning of life; and life after death. Past and current philosophers are taken into account.

Draws from current sports issues, popular literature, and contemporary sports figures to shed light on the attraction and value of sports and examine the accompanying ethical issues

Tackles two big questions about sport: "What is it?" and "Why does it attract so many people?" This work argues that sports participation is best described as a form of human play, and the attraction for participants and viewers alike derives from both its aesthetic richness and narrative structure.
