Jersey Eagle Publishing Announces the Publication of A League of His OwnA Heartfelt Memoir About a Boy and His Dad, Their Love of Baseball, Dad's Softball Story, and Growing Up in Bayonne, New Jersey in the Great Depression and the 1960s
Set against the backdrop of the 1960s, young Mickey comes of age while his father, Mike, turns a dream into reality by creating a Cinderella softball league that brought life to their blue-collar town. That vision leads to a legendary game, now preserved as part of Bayonne's history. Through vivid stories of the Great Depression, the turbulent Sixties, and the timeless bond between father and son, this book captures not only the spirit of baseball, but the resilience of family, community, and dreams reimagined. What they are saying about this book on Amazon: "A good read that accurately captures a time long ago that can teach lessons that are useful today." "A wonderful story about his youth and a touching tribute to his dad -- a feel-good story about working class USA." "A sweet taste of the simple life as seen through the eyes of a young boy in the 1960's." "For anyone who grew up playing ball until the streetlights came on—or whoever shared a quiet moment of connection with a parent over a simple game—this book will strike a powerful chord. It's not just a story about baseball; it's a love letter to a family, a city, and a way of life that shaped a generation." "Mike Bodayle spins a prickly and sticky web that super-glues itself to your heart...and you can't get rid of it, no matter what you do." "I recommend this book to all who enjoy a well written story with no filler, just joyful words, and lessons about family, life, and the journey." A League of His Own is available in paperback and eBook at the author's website https://musiccitymike.net/ About the Author Mike ("Mickey") Bodayle is a semi-retired insurance company executive currently living on the outskirts of Nashville in Franklin, Tennessee.
