Character lessons from the baseball diamond

Brian Altenbach, a baseball umpire, uses the diamond as a setting for reflections on character. The book is organized around six traits—courage, compassion, gratitude, humility, honesty, and faith—and pairs them with stories and advice drawn from his experience on the field. Baseball serves as the framework for considering how these qualities can extend beyond the game into school, work, and home. The result is a character-focused work of young adult nonfiction grounded in baseball and its lessons.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in baseball and personal character development
  • Baseball players and fans who enjoy reflections on lessons from the game
  • Adults seeking baseball-centered material about character traits
