2nd Base

About the Book

This book centers around a near death experience I had in younger years during a baseball game. It starts with a background of my family and related baseball experience. The “incident” was a freak accident stealing second base for an American Legion team. I passed out and by some medical accounts, both witnesses and medical records to back it up, I may have been dead for a few minutes. I still remember the depiction of when I was “out”. The book is an attempt to document and explain my recollection of the event and refer to other knowledge on the subject covering science, the related past and religion.
