About the Book
What’s this book about? The short answer is that it is about Bull Durham and the Godfather joining to play some golf with Tin Cup.
At one time or another, you’ve probably heard expressions like “You’re a product of your environment,” “More is better,” and “Timing is everything.”
Extra Innings is the story of Bobby Winston and Pep Woodson. It chronicles their youth and the influence of their environment on their lives and careers in Major League Baseball (Bobby) and the aerospace industry (Pep).
Each of them enjoyed enough success in their individual careers to enable them to retire comfortably, but it seemed that they were a step ahead of the boom times in each industry.
Bobby and Pep meet in retirement and work together at a golf course, where their interests in golf are focused. It doesn’t take long for them to exchange stories of their past and recognize the similarities in their lives. The compensation landscape changes around them in some of the same ways. An opportunity for each of them to get a second bite of the apple arises when they join forces.
